China on Saturday protested the visit by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh, a contested region located on the border between the two countries. "The Chinese government has never recognised the so-called 'Arunachal Pradesh' and is firmly opposed to the Indian leader's visit," Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying said in a statement. "China urges the Indian side to... refrain from any action that may lead to the escalation of disputes or complicate the boundary question," added Hua, some hours after Modi's visit to the contested area, during which he inaugurated building work for two airports.
