As old wounds fester, new issues have begun roiling bilateral relations. For example, since 2006 China has initiated a new territorial dispute by claiming the eastern sector (the Austria-size Arunachal Pradesh state), from which its forces withdrew in 1962, describing it as “Southern Tibet.”
过去的争议仍在恶化，又出现了扰乱双边关系的新问题。比如，自2006年起中国挑起了一场新的领土争端，它声称东部地区（面积近似奥地利的阿鲁纳恰尔邦）为其领土——1962年中国军队从该地撤军并称之为“藏南”。
