Actually Chinese embassy was not that far. He got married and the reason being. He wasn't a POW tbh. He was sort of a defector according to China. He strayed into Indian territory. And Speaking of generosity we send back 90K pow;s of our arch rival Pakistan. You think we were so desperate to keep him there? He has a family now 'while in prison'.
Rich coming from a former colony of Britain.
I must really admire how you twist the facts. Wang Qi married while he was restricted in Tirodi for 40+ years, not during the 7 years in prison. What do you expect a person to do for 40+ years in a strange land. It is not desperation. It is being PETTY that the Indian Government refused his numerous requests all those years to be able to return to China.
As for being a colony, we share this ignominious past. Though my ancestors came after it became a colony, I am not proud of it and don't feel it is glorious to be colonized like you do.
English is lingua franca for business and communications. I refrain from criticizing anybody for not having perfect command in the langauge of the Colonizers, instead I appreciate their effort.
