China seizes 60,000 maps over 'mislabelled' Taiwan
Chinese customs seize 60,000 mislabelled maps, including Taiwan, South China Sea islands. The confiscated maps lacked the nine-dash line signifying China's territorial claims in the South China Sea and failed to show the maritime boundary between China and Japan. China considers Taiwan its territory, and the maps' content jeopardized national unity and territorial integrity, leading to the seizure by authorities. Tensions in the South China Sea persist, with recent conflicts between China and the Philippines over territorial disputes.
