India: New Visa Proposed for Chinese Laborers
As reported by Business Standard, sources suggest that a new visa is being developed for Chinese nationals working on contract labor projects in India. The move comes in response to Indian laborers' concerns that many projects, particularly those financed and operated by Chinese companies, import Chinese labor instead of hiring locally, thereby negatively impacting the Indian workforce. Although details have yet to be released, the new visa would ostensibly set defined lengths of stay for Chinese laborers and only be issued for specific projects.
