Is China plotting to stoke insurgency in Arunachal Pradesh?

India Today  

The five youths from Arunachal Pradesh who were allegedly abducted by Chinese forces were returned to India on Saturday.

Recent utterances by Chinese foreign ministry deputy spokesman Zhao Lijian, who'd acquired a fake "Mohammad" identity while in Pakistan, about Arunachal Pradesh are direct lies without any basis. Lijian said China has never recognised "so-called Arunachal Pradesh" and referred to it as "Zangnan", meaning South Tibet. Cheap liquor floods market Arunachal Pradesh is flooded with cheap liquor from China, especially ‘Dali’ beer and ‘Maotai’, a type of Chinese liquor.
