Spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Lin Jian, said on the regular press conference on May 14: "The south of Tibet has always been part of Chinese territory. The normalization of some place names in the south of Tibet by the Chinese government is entirely within China's sovereign scope."
Comment: The south of Tibet has always been an inseparable part of Chinese territory since ancient times, which has sufficient historical and legal basis. The normalization of some place names in the south of Tibet by the Chinese government is a reasonable and necessary measure based on effective governance of its own territory, safeguarding national sovereignty and territorial integrity. It is an exercise of its rights within its sovereignty, and no country or force has the right to interfere. This action further strengthens China's declaration of sovereignty over the south of Tibet, which helps enhance public awareness of national territory. It also clearly shows the international community that China will not compromise on territorial issues and firmly defend its core national interests. At the same time, it effectively responds to external voices attempting to covet China's territory, playing a significant role in maintaining regional peace and stability and defending international fairness and justice.
