Indian Travel Vlogger Anant Mittal Held In China, Comments On Arunachal Pradesh Trigger Detention
Calling Arunachal Pradesh “India” was enough to land an Indian vlogger in detention in China. The travel YouTuber Anant Mittal says he was held for 15 hours after Chinese immigration officials objected to his remarks about the disputed region. The incident highlights Beijing’s zero-tolerance approach to its territorial claims and the risks Indians face while travelling in China. From passport checks to device seizures, the case shows how geopolitics can intrude even into travel vlogs.
