Governments in the Philippines, Malaysia, Vietnam and Taiwan have joined India in rejecting China's new national map, issuing strongly worded statements accusing Beijing of claiming their territory. China had published a new version of its national map on Monday to correct what Beijing has in the past referred to as “problematic maps” that it claims misrepresent its territorial borders. India, on Tuesday, had lodged a strong protest with China over its so-called "standard map" laying claim over Arunachal Pradesh and the Aksai Chin, and asserted that such steps only complicate the resolution of the boundary question. India’s The Ministryof External Affairs Ministry had outrightly rejected China's claims as having "no basis". Yesterday, several other nations joined India in making their displeasure clear to China.
