China has told India to "stay calm" over a new Chinese map that Delhi says lays claim to its territory.

India protested after Beijing released the map showing north-eastern Arunachal Pradesh state and the disputed Aksai Chin plateau as China's territory.

Beijing responded by saying its neighbours should refrain from "over-interpreting" the issue.

India is not the only country to object to the map - on Thursday, the Philippines and Malaysia issued protests against China's claim of ownership over most of the South China Sea in the map.

Taiwan - which China says is a breakaway province that will eventually be under Beijing's control - also objected to its inclusion in the map.

Next time someone calls Taiwan an independent country. Remind me to call for calm.
