India has reportedly decided to expel three Chinese journalists working with Xinhua news agency following "concerns" flagged by intelligence agencies. India has refused to renew their visas, a move which can further worsen the relations between the two countries, Hindustan Times reported.
They have been ordered to leave India by 31 July. The three journalists also include the heads of Xinhua’s bureau in New Delhi and Mumbai. Wu Qiang heads the Delhi bureau, Lu Tang manages the Mumbai headquarters and the third journalist She Yonggang is a reporter based in Mumbai.
The Wire reported that the decision of the Indian authorities was based on “adverse attention” from security agencies.
The Hindu quoted Indian government sources as saying, “The three journalists had overstayed their visa and subsequently they had received several visa extensions. So we asked them to go back as it is no longer possible to give them visa extensions.”
India now hopes that Xinhua will soon send their replacement. Wu told The Hindu that “No explanation has been given for the denial of visa renewal.”
