India is slashing red tape on Chinese business visas, approving them in under four weeks- a dramatic shift from multi-year delays triggered by the 2020 Galwan Valley clash. Once blocked almost entirely, these visas now bypass extra scrutiny layers beyond home and foreign ministries. Officials, speaking to media, confirmed, “We have removed the layer of administrative vetting.” This policy pivot, recommended by a high-level committee under former Cabinet Secretary Rajiv Gauba, signals pragmatic diplomacy as New Delhi balances tensions with economic realities.
