Denying a report published in a Delhi newspaper that Chinese forces had ``transgressed'' into Indian territory near the LAC when the Prime Minister, Atal Behari Vajpayee, was visiting Beijing, the Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman, Kong Quan, said China did not recognise that Arunachal Pradesh was part of India. ``We have noted the relevant report. China does not recognise the so-called Arunachal Pradesh mentioned by the Indian newspaper report,'' Mr. Kong said. The External Affairs Ministry spokesman had said yesterday that the Indian Government was aware of the ``transgression'' of the LAC by a Chinese patrol on June 26 in the Asaphila area of the upper Subansiri district of Arunachal Pradesh. This was an area where there were differences in perception of the LAC between the two sides. Mr. Kong said, ``as far as the incident mentioned, after investigations, we have found that the Indian side crossed the eastern sector of the Line of Actual Control (LAC). At the request of the Chinese side, the Indian people who crossed the LAC, returned to the Indian side of the LAC.'' China lays claim to 90,000 sq km of land in Arunachal Pradesh. PTI
