Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson, Guo Jiakun, on December 12, called it a 'positive action'. 'China is willing to maintain communication and consultation with India' Jiakun further added. PM Modi is cautiously rekindling ties with Beijing in the face of aggressive US tariffs: Sources told Reuters. New Delhi dropped a layer of bureaucratic scrutiny, and shortened visa approval times to less than a month: Source told Reuters. Changes come at a crucial time for India, which is scaling up production across several categories, he added: Reuters. Earlier, India blocked virtually all Chinese visits after military clash on Galwan Valley in mid-2020. Major Chinese electronics companies, such as Xiaomi, struggled to get visas, Reuters reported last year. Removal of red tape comes after PM Modi visited China this year for the first time in seven years.
