The Taiwan Strait is a 180-kilometre wide strait separating the island of Taiwan and continental China (and Asia of course). The strait is part of the South China Sea and connects to the East China Sea to the north. The narrowest part is 130 km wide. China claims jurisdiction over the Taiwan Strait.

India has followed a “One China policy” since its recognition of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) in 1949, and only maintains trade and cultural relations with Taiwan. India routinely reiterated this policy until 2008 after which it stopped mentioning it in official statements. This is a demand that China usually asks of most countries in official declarations.
China often makes provocative statements claiming Arunachal Pradesh. It often moves to issue “stapled visas” to Indian citizens in Jammu and Kashmir and Arunachal.
