China releases a controversial map, the 2023 edition of the "standard map," claiming extensive territories, including parts of Russia, India, and the South China Sea.
China's new map includes an imaginary nine-dash line, asserting its ownership of regions beyond its borders.
Arunachal Pradesh and Aksai Chin are claimed by China, but they are integral parts of India.
Taiwan is depicted as part of China, despite its independent status.
Russia, Nepal, and other countries are also included in China's claims.
Multiple nations, including the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, and Brunei, dispute China's control over the South China Sea.
The map has no legal basis, as confirmed by the Permanent Court of Arbitration.
International condemnation is widespread, with countries like India, the Philippines, Malaysia, and Taiwan rejecting China's claims.
China's actions coincide with the G20 Summit, possibly aiming to provoke discussions on its territorial claims and disrupt the diplomatic event.
