NEW DELHI (AP) — Malaysia has joined India in protesting a new Chinese map that lays claim to India’s territory and Malaysia’s maritime areas near the Borneo island ahead of next week’s Group of 20 summit in New Delhi. Malaysia’s foreign ministry on Wednesday rejected China’s “unilateral claims” and added the map is “not binding” to the country. An Indian foreign ministry official said his country has lodged a protest over a new Chinese map that lays claim to India’s territory. The objection comes ahead of the G20 summit of industrialized and developing countries in New Delhi next week, which Chinese President Xi Jinping is expected to attend.
