Beijing, Feb 27 (IANS) Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Arunachal Pradesh earlier this month could add fuel to the territorial disputes between India and China, a leading Chinese daily has said. Any visit by an Indian prime minister to "the disputed border region" would "undoubtedly step on China's toes and influence bilateral relations", the Global Times, known for its sharp views on India, said in an op-ed piece headlined "Modi border visit an unhelpful irritant". The article is based on an interview with Hu Shisheng, director of the Institute of South and Southeast Asian and Oceania Studies, China Institutes of Contemporary International Relations.
