NEW DELHI—Indian officials are accusing China of supporting insurgents who have been active in recent months in its northeast region.

The insurgents are being provided with weapons by Chinese proxies inside Burma (also known as Myanmar), according to Indian media, and are helping China open a new battlefront on India’s northeastern border, at a time when India–China relations are already tense because of a conflict in Ladakh in north-western India.
