Bharat on September 22 lodged strong protest with China over Beijing barring three wushu players from Arunachal Pradesh to travel for the ongoing Asian Games. Notably, three Bharatiya martial arts athletes from Arunachal Pradesh have been forced to pull out of the Asian Games in Hangzhou after not receiving clearance from the host country. Arunachal Pradesh has become the latest flashpoint between Bharat and China, already reeling from sour relations over the Galwan Valley skirmishes along the Line of Actual Control (LAC).
