The two fast developing economies in Asia, India and China seems to have been locked in logger heads over the visiting each other. China has advised the country nationals from visiting India foreseeing disturbances across the neighbor land. The main reason cited by China is that the recent petro-hike has evoked country wide protests in India, which could affect the travel plans of the Chinese visits. Critics feel this is in response to the Indian warning for business men from making business plans with China. India only advised the business men to be cautious, after the row of Indian business men being held as captive by Chinese traders.

However Indian diplomats brushed aside the speculations and expressed that both the countries are mature enough to be bogged down by such trifle issues.

An advisory has been posted on the Chinese Foreign Ministry website as well as Chinese Embassy in New Delhi dated June 1 which warned about travel disruptions due to protests.

"According to Indian media reports, many places in India are witnessing protests and strikes due to the recent hike in oil prices. Railways and highway transport have either come to a halt due to strikes or have been impacted to different degrees," China says on its Foreign Ministy website, as well as that of its embassy in Delhi. "The Chinese Embassy in India would like to alert the Chinese citizens about this and request them to confirm their itinerary with related agencies to avoid delays....at the same time, during this period, they should be careful about personal safety and safeguard their personal belongings," it adds.  (With Inputs from Internet- Aarkay)
