Experts condemn expulsions of three Xinhua journalists by New Delhi

The expulsions of three Chinese journalists from India are "very inappropriate" and "harm the overall Sino-Indian relationship", according to experts.

Hindustan Times reported that New Delhi had expelled three Xinhua News Agency journalists after refusing to renew their work visas. No official reason was given.

The three are the head of Xinhua's New Delhi bureau Wu Qiang, Lu Tang, who manages the Mumbai bureau, and a Mumbai-based reporter She Yonggang. They were ordered to leave India by Sunday and banned from re-entry.
