BEIJING – China on Thursday expressed anger over a visit by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the remote Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh, which China also claims, and said India should stop any action that might complicate the dispute. China claims the region in the eastern Himalayas as "South Tibet", and it has denounced Indian leaders' visits there as attempts to bolster India's claims. "China's position on the China-India boundary question is consistent and clear-cut," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang said in a statement carried by the official Xinhua news agency. "The Chinese government has never recognized the so-called Arunachal Pradesh and is firmly opposed to the Indian leader's visit to the disputed area," Geng said.
