Arunachal will train players to defeat China in Wushu, says CM Khandu

Kohima: In the backdrop of China denying entry to Arunachali players citing technical error in their visas, Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu said his government was training Wushu players to take part in the 2026 Olympics in Japan in order to beat China at their own game.

Sharing his disappointment over the issue, CM Khandu said it was unfortunate that its “friendly” neighbour denied visa to the state players. 

He shared that his government has provided Rs 20 lakh to these players who were morally down due to the Chinese government’s move, and also rewarded their coach, to encourage the team to train harder for other national and international games.
