The Indian government said on Dec. 8 that it had told citizens to exercise caution when traveling and transiting through China after an Indian passenger was detained by Chinese border officers at Shanghai airport last month.
“We expect that the Chinese government and officials will provide assurance that Indian citizens transiting through Chinese airports will not be targeted in any manner, nor will they be stopped or harassed arbitrarily,” Randhir Jaiswal, a spokesperson for the Indian foreign ministry, told a regular briefing.
