robot sir, I'm actually not in favor of hurting trade ties. Just putting defense relations on hold is sufficient in my humble opinion. This is exactly what GOI has done which I think is a good way to protest, even China did that to USA when they sold arms to Taiwan some time back

Stapled visas by China not valid for travel: MEA
New Delhi: In a rebuff to China, India today made it clear that any paper visa "stapled" to the passport in separate sheets rather than pasted will be treated as invalid for travel out of the country.
"It has come to the attention of the government that the Chinese Embassy here and its Consulates in Mumbai and Kolkata are issuing visas on a separate piece of paper stapled to the passport (rather than "pasted" as is the usual practice), to certain categories of Indian nationals on the basis of their domicile, ethnicity and/or place of issue of the passport.
"Such paper visas stapled to the passport are not considered valid for travel out of the country," ministry of external affairs said in a statement here.
The snub comes in the wake of the reports that some Kashmiri students and businessmen were given visa by the Chinese embassy on a separate piece of paper, stapled to the passport. Immigration officials at the airport denied permission to such travellers to fly out.
The ministry of external affairs also asked its citizens to ascertain from the Chinese embassy or Consulate whether the visa issued to them will be affixed to the passport or will be in the nature of a stapled paper visa to avoid any inconvenience or financial loss."All Indian citizens intending to travel to the People's Republic of China are advised that before making any travel arrangements they should first ascertain from the Chinese Embassy or Consulate, as the case may be, whether the visa being issued to them will be affixed to the passport or will be in the nature of a stapled paper visa, so that they are not inconvenienced or put to any financial loss later on this count," the ministry said.
Chinese embassy officials here have been maintaining that stapling of the visas on a separate piece of paper was a "usual practice" for last few years and the problem was from the side of Indian immigration officials at the airport.
The Chinese Embassy's practice of stamping visas to some Kashmiris on a separate sheet of paper instead of passports was seen as a new front in needling it, evoking a strong reaction from India.
The visas were stamped on separate papers as was the practice for those hailing from Arunachal Pradesh.
The action with regard to Kashmiri travellers is seen as an attempt by China to question the status of Jammu and Kashmir as part of India.
Upset over the development, India had said, "it is our considered view and position that there should be no discrimination against visa applicants of Indian nationality on the grounds of domicile or ethnicity."

new country would be then united states of democratic republic india with new delhi as capital.
when our economy is 3 times as big as yours.
when we are the only UNSC permanent member in Asia.
when our military conquered your nation in only a few days in 1962.
when half of your female population couldn't read and write?
when your country is considered far more corrupt than us?
when you couldn't even organize the CWG?
手淫强身，意淫强国。
why the regime should have the right to decide who can leave the country?
because the regime in new delhi don't want millions to escape to China for better livelihood?
yaar hum khud hee kyun nahin gond laga ke visa chipka dete?China bhi khush, hum bhi khush!
no one appreciate your dialect.
傻人说土话，人傻话蠢
^^ I do not count you even in 'no one'
how is life in your dead poor motherland which for 60 years failed the vast majority of indians for the rights of education, health care, proper career development?

My humble opinion on Indians most effective response to China's stapled visas for Indian controlled Kashmir=protest after protest , if thats not working, well, Indians should consider "Hunger strike" that will get things done for sure (remember thats your special strength, did you even free your country from the British with this mighty tactics?)

India cant do a shyt simple as that. You have heard the Chinese already. Your Gen was slapped with visa refusal.
China is in no mood to change the policy.
