Jinping is most likely skipping the G20 summit comes on the heels of the border dispute between India and China. The recent controversy over border disputes engulfed after China drew a map showcasing Arunachal Pradesh a part of Chinese territory. For the uninitiated, Arunachal Pradesh is a State in the northeast part of India and borders China.

The proximity to China has caused several border disputes for decades. While China called it a “standard map” India called China’s move “absurd”. India’s Foreign Minister S Jaishankar hit back at China saying that the Communist country has no right to include an Indian state as theirs.

“China has put out maps with territories (that are) not theirs. (It is an) old habit. Just by putting out maps with parts of India… this doesn’t change anything. Our government is very clear about what our territory is. Making absurd claims does not make other people’s territories yours,” he said in an interview with NDTV.
