Chinese authorities have still not been able to explain their actions, which are in violation of several conventions governing international air travel,” said MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal, adding that the action by Chinese also violated their own regulations that allow visa-free transit up to 24 hours for nationals of all countries.The ministry was responding to the Chinese foreign ministry’s remarks on the “arbitrary” detention of an Indian citizen from Arunachal Pradesh, who was holding a valid passport and was transiting through Shanghai International Airport on her onward travel to Japan.Denying that the woman was detained or harassed, the Chinese foreign ministry had earlier said border checks on people entering and exiting a country and carrying out law enforcement according to the “specific situation of the entry or exit is the usual practice” of border enforcement authorities of countries.Law enforcement was impartial and non-abusive: China | page 14India on Monday lodged a strong protest with China for the treatment meted out to the Indian.”Zangnan is China’s territory.
