Restricted advisory |
India has restricted the release of a trade advisory for Indian companies doing business in China. Apparently, India wants to avoid another confrontation with Beijing. She has only recently denied extending visas to three Chinese journalists in July 2016. Trade advisories for Indian companies are usually prominently displayed on the Indian embassy website to ensure maximum publicity. But not in the case of the latest advisory, which warns Indian traders to be careful of fraud Chinese companies that could supply them with sand, stones and bricks instead of goods promised. The advisory follows after several complaints from Indians doing business in China.The Indian embassy decided to share the advisory only with an Indian community association in Shanghai; it wasn’t even shared with the Indian association in Beijing. The advisory was not put on the website of the Indian missions in China to avoid misunderstanding considering the strain in ties due to differences on issues relating to listing of Pakistan-based militants and groups as terrorists by UN and Beijing`s reluctance to support India`s application to join the Nuclear Suppliers Group. An Indian Embassy official explained that the advisory was sent to business bodies in India for their member companies.
