Three Indian athletes from Arunachal Pradesh, a region claimed by China, are having trouble traveling to the Asian Games in China. This is because China has not given them the right travel documents. India says that this is unfair and discriminatory. China says that it welcomes all athletes with proper documents.
This is not the first time these athletes have had visa problems with China. They were also unable to compete in the World University Games in July.
The border dispute between India and China is a long-standing issue. The two countries have different claims to the region of Arunachal Pradesh. This dispute has led to tension between the two countries, and it is now affecting sports.
It is unfortunate that this political dispute is casting a shadow over the Asian Games, which are a major sporting event in Asia.
