Chinese officials and the State media have sought to play downdifferences with India ahead of External Affairs Minister S.M.Krishna's arrival here on Tuesday, calling on both sides "toincrease mutual trust and also take care of each other'smisgivings." Underscoring keenness to minimise any disruption to Mr. Krishna'svisit, both sides' officials on Monday firmly rejected mediareports that claimed that the Chinese embassy in New Delhi hadissued an advisory cautioning citizens against travelling to India. The reports had claimed the "tit-for-tat" move was aresponse to a trade advisory issued by India to businessmen in Yiwufollowing disputes in the trading hub. Chinese officials pointed out that the notice, in Chinese, postedon the website of the embassy and the Foreign Ministry on May 31only called on citizens "to confirm their itineraries"in light of possible travel disruptions on account of thenationwide protests last Thursday over the rise in fuel prices, andhad not advised Chinese citizens "against travelling toIndia" as the media reports claimed. "Connecting the notice, which was issued for the safety ofChinese citizens in India, to other advisories and politicalmatters is ridiculous." Indian embassy sources added that while they had not seen a similaradvisory in the past, they attached no undue importance to thenotice, which said it "advises the Chinese citizens toconfirm your itineraries with related organisations in advance andpay special attention to your safety and personalbelongings". The notice was posted last week after some Chinese travel agencieshad, on Wednesday, cancelled tours to India in anticipation of lastThursday's strike. According to representatives at the China International Travelcompany and Compass International Travel, two Beijing-based travelagencies, several Chinese clients already on tours to India hadvoiced concerns about safety on account of the strike disruptingpublic transport last week. Indian officials said on Monday that signs from Beijing were"positive" ahead of the visit of Mr. Krishna, who willattend the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit meeting onWednesday and hold bilateral talks with a top Chinese official,expected to be one of the nine members of the Politburo StandingCommittee, on Thursday. He will arrive in Beijing on Tuesday night. On Monday, the Communist Party-run Global Times , a newspaper known for its nationalist views, published whatofficials described as an unusual commentary on India, calling onChina to have "a clear goal" in its India policy.Authored by scholar Sun Peisong, the commentary said both sidesshould make the most of summit meetings, such as this week's SCOgathering, to "increase mutual trust and also take care ofeach other's misgivings". "The history and culture of India and China is different fromthat of the West," said the commentary. "Both countries do not approve of a Europe/U.S.-led world andstrive to realise multi-polarity. Both countries have similar viewsin many areas like climate, energy, counter-terrorism, publichealth, and social security." "Geo-political strategists in the U.S. and Japan hope thatthey can reap rich benefits in the fight till a bitter end betweenIndia and China due to strategic competition," it added."China and India cannot allow this plot to succeed.".
