“And the 5 things we dislike...”

VISA PROBLEMS: India is too strict with issuing visas to Chinese who want to visit India. Many Chinese business people face extreme difficulty in obtaining Indian visas – most of them at best only get 3-month visas; and then they have to leave India and apply for visa again. This is creating havoc for Chinese labourers who dream to work in India; and even businessmen who want to make a fortune here. China looks forward for more cooperation from the Indian Government in terms of giving more flexibility in issuing visas to Chinese citizens.

BORDER ISSUE: There has been no progress in regards to the border issue, which is perhaps the biggest issue discerning bilateral relations between these two peaceful nations. There seems to be strong political determination from both the sides with meagre results. We have already held 13 rounds of meetings with Indian Special Representatives on this issue.

PROTECTIONISM: India’s trade protectionism and anti-dumping laws are very much demotivating for the Chinese business community. Especially with regard to India’s reaction and ban of Chinese made toys. China found it unnecessary as there is no international standard as such. India should also understand the fact that a Chinese company generates employment when it comes to India. For example, Huawei, a Chinese company employs around 4,000 Indians nationwide. Is it not a blessing?

FRUIT EXPORTS: China sees India as a big partner when it comes to export of fruits and Agri-products. China sees export prospects for Indian fruits to be sent to China in large volume like that of Thailand and other Southeast Asian countries. India lacks modern infrastructure and storage capacity necessary to preserve fruits and other Agri-products. China can greatly support India in this as it is capable enough to store such products and sell them in the international market. MEDIA BIAS: If there is another aspect that China is greatly worried about, it is the biased nature of Indian media. Sometimes, the Indian media’s reaction is too anti-Chinese. Indian media often over hypes Indo-China border issues and infiltration or invasion of Chinese into Indian borders. The media often accuses China of destabilising Indo-Pak relations while the reality is opposite. It’s too imperative to be balanced when it comes to sensitive issues like border disputes and others. Media has a very responsible role. It should be careful, especially on vulnerable issues.
