Malaysia Joins India in Chinese Map Row

by Cobus van Staden
China's official new "standard map" was released on Monday that India claims includes a lot of its territory and also added a 10th dash to the controversial 9-dash line in the South China Sea.

Malaysia added its voice to a dispute between New Delhi and Beijing over a newly-issued “standard map” of China.
