China has issued over 85,000 visas to Indian citizens in 2025 as part of efforts to strengthen ties with India amid rising tensions with the U.S. over trade tariffs. The Chinese Embassy highlighted streamlined visa procedures, reduced fees, and exemptions from biometric data for short visits. Chinese Ambassador Xu Feihong invited more Indians to experience China’s “open, safe, and friendly environment.” As U.S. President Trump ramps up tariffs on Chinese imports, Beijing is encouraging India and other developing nations to unite against what it calls “tariff abuse.” The move signals China’s push to boost regional partnerships amid growing global trade friction.
