Butthurt over journalists expulsion, Chinese media calls India's business visa policy 'a pain in the butt'

It’s been long that India was denied entry into the elite Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) and it also seems to have moved on, having joined the MTCR missile club; but looks like China, the main reason behind India staying out of NSG, wants to drag the issue for long.

China's state-run media, which has been printing insulting articles against India, has now said that India wants to take "revenge" on China Beijing by refusing the renewal of its journalists, who were expelled by the country a few days back.

Apparently, as per the Chinese state-run Global Times, India’s business visa policy is "a pain in the butt."

"Although news about India's latest galvanized waves of optimism among business communities across China, for Chinese nationals, a business visa to India remains a pain in the butt," said an article in the state-run news agency.

It added that India is using the visa policy as a "weapon" against the neighbouring country as it sees China as the "culprit" for not allowing it into NSG.

Recently, three Chinese journalists working for the state-run Xinhua were expelled from India since they were using fake names to get into sensitive areas and to talk to high-level government personnel.

However, as per Global Times, all these allegations were false and India was just making up excuses to get back at China.

On the other hand, China is known to have thrown out foreign journalists for writing critical articles, and having a tough visa process of its own.
