The United States Senate has passed a bipartisan resolution recognizing the McMahon Line as the international boundary between China and Arunachal Pradesh, and sees Arunachal Pradesh as an integral part of India. The resolution also condemns China's military aggression to change the status quo along the Line of Actual Control and emphasizes the importance of the US-India strategic partnership and the Quad in supporting the Free and Open Indo-Pacific. The resolution comes after a clash between India and China in the Eastern Sector along the Line of Actual Control. The resolution also opposes the People's Republic of China's claims that Arunachal Pradesh is its territory, which is part of China's aggressive and expansionist policies.
