Pema Wang Thongdok, an Arunachal Pradesh woman harassed at Shanghai airport, has responded to trolls emphasizing national unity. She was detained for 18 hours during a layover from London to Japan when Chinese officials refused to recognize her Indian passport, claiming Arunachal Pradesh was "part of China." In her post, Thongdok thanked supporters and clarified she works full-time in financial services with no time for trolls. She stressed that any Indian government action benefits all Indians and Arunachalis, not just her personally. Chinese officials confiscated her passport, denied boarding, and mocked her, suggesting she apply for a Chinese passport. India's Foreign Ministry reaffirmed Arunachal Pradesh as an integral part of India.
