GVS Deep Dive

An Indian citizen from Arunachal Pradesh was stopped for nearly eighteen hours at Shanghai Pudong Airport after Chinese officials allegedly questioned her passport and birthplace. This happened only days after Prime Minister Modi and President Xi met at the SCO Summit in Tianjin — their first bilateral meeting in seven years.
In this GVS Deep Dive, Najma Minhas explains the full timeline of the incident, China’s official response, India’s diplomatic protest, the historical dispute over the McMahon Line, and why China’s territorial assertions over Arunachal Pradesh have intensified in recent years. The video also examines the broader geopolitical context, including China’s confrontation with Japan over Taiwan and the recent Xi–Trump call.
