NEW DELHI: The three Arunachal athletes who were given stapled visas by China are also part of India's official wushu contingent for the upcoming Asian Games to be held in the Chinese city of Hangzhou from September 23 to October 8.
The stapled visas issued by the Chinese embassy officials have put their participation in the Asiad also in doubt, and could lead to another diplomatic showdown between the two countries over China's claim that Arunachal is part of southern Tibet-an assertion strongly contested by Indian authorities.
