A long-standing border dispute between India and China has left three Indian martial arts competitors stranded at home and unable to make it to the Asian Games in Hangzhou while sparking a diplomatic row Friday between the two countries.
In July, the same athletes did not compete at the World University Games in Chengdu, China, because they were given similar visas.
“This has been brought to our notice yesterday and we are taking up this matter with the organizing committee and will try to find a solution very quickly,” he said. Asked about the visa issue, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning said “China welcomes athletes from all countries” to attend the Asia Games, but also doubled down on Beijing’s position.
