China ruled out the easing of visa curbs and border controls in the near future which have prevented thousands of stranded Indians from returning to Beijing, saying it will make timely adjustments and proper arrangements in light of the changing situation and needs.
Responding to questions on Indian ambassador to Beijing Vikram Misri’s criticism of China’s prolonged stringent travel restrictions, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying said the prevention and control measures that China has to adopt amid COVID-19 are appropriate and not targeting India but applied to everyone. Mr. Misri, in his address to the Track-II Dialogue on China-India Relations last week, expressed “disappointment” over China's reluctance to permit the return of thousands of stranded Indian students, employees and their families due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
