Posting this here, cause it concerns India


BEIJING: Beijing will start a 72-hour visa-free stay policy for citizens of 45 countries from Jan 1, 2013. India and Pakistan were excluded from the list.

Tourists holding third country visas and plane tickets can apply for a transit without visa in the capital city at Beijing Capital International Airport, Xinhua reported Wednesday.

Countries listed for the visa-free policy are Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Singapore, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Britain, Iceland, Italy, Russia, the US, Brazil, South Korea, Mexico, Canada, Japan and the UAE, among others.

I can understand China's problem with us, but why this kind of treatment for their best friend, Pakistan. Maybe the Pakis on this forum can explain the situation better.

Simple - with India, it is usual hostility. With Pakistan, it is because they know that at the end of the day, Pakistanis are basically terrorists. No matter all the talk of mountains and oceans and honey and steel - the Chinese have no illusions about the true nature of inner Pakistaniyat.

Damn right and to think about it, Pakistan has only one strategic relationship in this world, with China, lol.

Sucks to be a Paki.

Evil conspiracy by evil Indians. Only an Indian source is reporting it!!!!!!

On a serious note, that is precisely how a Pakistani gets treated and seen in the PRC, as a suspect, and Chinese being pragmatic, that they very much are, remain very cautious.

Higher than mountains, deeper than oceans sells in Pakistan, Chinese are ever so happy to use the obliging Pakistanis, precisely how this relationship is shaped, much like on the lines of US-Pak relations, just that the Chinese aren't yet seen as interferers as the Americans are, but that's just a matter of time.

Chinis have been gunned down by Pakis the same as many other nationals. Why would they want to invite Pak terror? All countries should do the same thing.

Very simple.

There is not many tourists from India or Pakistan flying through China to reach other countries. So you 2 don't need 72 hours visa.

Actually quite a few Indians travelling to Korea and Japan and even Australia are transiting via Beijing and Shanghai (and I believe even one of the southern cities- not sure if it is Gunagzhou) because of the extremely attractive airfares being offered by Air China, China Southern Airlines and China Eastern Airlines.

The newly introduced visa policy is only meant to attract tourists from rich countries, both Indians and Pakistani tourists contributes little to Chinese tourism industry.

So, tourism in China means a cash cow and not opening China to people to see the historical marvels!

Money is all the Chinese know!
