Chinese officials tell two Indian journalists to stay away from China

Chinese authorities advised Anshuman Mishra and Ananth Krishnan not to enter China again since their visas had been frozen. As India asked a Chinese journalist to leave the country, China has now forbade two Indian journalists from returning to Beijing, according to persons with knowledge of the situation.

Chinese officials reportedly told Anshuman Mishra, a representative of state-run Prasar Bharati in Beijing, and Ananth Krishnan, a correspondent for The Hindu, that they should not travel back to China since their visas had been frozen. Mishra and Krishnan had both just lately visited India for private reasons.
