New UN map depicts Arunachal Pradesh and Aksai Chin as territories caught between “Indian line” and “Chinese line”

Two days after India supported the “Correct the map” resolution in the UN on September 4, 2026, a new map of the world issued by the United Nations, seems to have left India’s Arunachal Pradesh and Aksai Chin of Jammu and Kashmir appearing like regions caught between Indian and Chinese claim lines. The UN map, published on July 1, 2026, shows Arunachal’s southern State border with Assam as the “Chinese Line” while eliminating the State’s border with Nagaland. It shows the State’s northern border with China’s Tibet as the “Indian Line”. Similarly, the map shows Aksai Chin’s eastern borders as the “Indian Line” and uses a “Chinese line” that appears to serve as a line of demarcation between Ladakh and Aksai Chin. India claims Aksai Chin as part of Ladakh.
