NEW DELHI - India is stepping up its curbs on Chinese activity in the country, adding extra scrutiny for visas and reviewing Beijing's links with local universities, as relations between the two nations continue to nose-dive.
The measures are similar to those that have long been employed with Pakistan, India's neighbour and archrival, they said. With the exception of Mandarin language courses, tie-ups with Chinese institutions are likely to be discontinued, the officials said. The institutions are used to influence policymakers, think-tanks, political parties, corporates and academics, they said.
India recently blocked dozens of popular Chinese mobile applications, including TikTok, and changed rules to limit Chinese investments in Indian companies. The move came as both countries moved thousands of troops, artillery guns and tanks to a disputed area on their Himalayan border after 20 Indian soldiers and an unknown number of Chinese soldiers were killed in a clash on June 15.
