Every economy has to strike an right balance between low cost and local economy. Since India has abundant source low cost wage workers it is not advisable to import labor's. A cheap labor coming to India will be an net consumer hence increase pressure on economy. Every country does this discrimination hence India is taking a right step towards saving local interests.

absolutely ya , we must stop all these Chinese invasion Tactics . When a Chinese product is dumped into Indian market , it is priced well below the local market prices , objective to absorb the market totally in their favor , thus emphasizing on weakening of our local market . And one day hoping to capture the market addiction for their products , to end up in a monopoly situation . While we talk on their Invasion Tactics politically , the China crosses the Indian boundaries , each year some part of India they occupy , without any shame , playing hide & seek , so smart to get into our territorials like a Fox , really cunning !!! Thus if Chinese Laborers are encouraged here , it would end up us in losing the position of occupying the largest Man power occupant country . You know china Always Comes up with something New , like a Cunning Fox , but our government is always Circumspect of the Situations to act wise !!! .

Look at the human recourses, skilled labours, talent pool of our country. We are no way less competent than the Chinese counter parts. The scientific resources management is the answer to solve the problem. Recently, some of the Chinese engineers arrested by the police from one of the Industrial site in Orissa due for use of filth language to Indians. The language is also a problem which is not properly understood even if a translator is available. There must be some criteria that the International bidders should take the responsibility of learning the local language to their employees in short term to know each other at site. The decision of not granting Visa to chinese labour is correct, but the above mentioned problem needs to be addressed.

India's decision not to issue visa to Chinese labourers is in line with international trends and absolutely justified. There is not much to debate in this. The nations have opened up their economies to free flow of capital, business opportunities and high skills & technology. Not for population transfer. The South East Asia countries have guidelines for issuing work permits to migrant workmen. The investing companies can employ only one manager for each department. For deployment of workmen, the company has to give justification that, the particular skill is not available in their country and take prior approval. China is also following strict norms in issuing visas to migrant workmen from other countries. Hence, India is fully justified to taking such steps to safeguard interests of her own work force.

I think this is a right move from the government to stop providing visas to Chinese workers as it will be a threat to labourers in India. The companies from other foreign countries did not feel the need to carry their own workers to projects in India,which has a vast reservoir of skilled employees and a long history of industry and entrepreneurship.

Just to shift the perspective: 1. Almost all Indian IT companies source job from US and Europe.Their Engineers(mostly Indians) work onsite.These countries provide Visa to these engineers to work there.If they stop giving Visa,what happens?These companies go bankrupt as they work on economy of scale.They survive because Indian techies are cheaper than their US or European counterparts. 2. Most of the construction companies including Bigwigs like L&T,through International Competitive Bidding get projects in UAE ,Singapore ,Malaysia where their Indian Engineers,supervisors,artisans work for years until the project completes. 3.Most of the Indians go for higher studies abroad,get jobs there and get settled.It will not be out of place to mention Sikhs are voice to reckon with in London. Now coming to the source of problem,with more of Chinese laborers' influx Indians may not find work.Point is valid.Unemployment is looming large in India but banning Chinese laborers is a populist methods which has been put forward by Indian politicians as very much expected by them and it has very well served its purpose with everybody supporting it but before we conclude there are few things to ponder: 1.Why these projects are not being done by a Indian company ? Are they not competitive enough? 2. Why there are so many unskilled laborers but very few skilled ones ? Why our politicians are not trying to provide opportunities to upgrade their skills ? 3. Chinese supposedly bring their workers because they are cheaper.Now can somebody tell me when half of India is below poverty line still why they are unable to find cheaper workers here ? India had been a closed economy for years just because of fear that Indian companies may not stand competition but to everybody's surprise they have outperformed themselves after liberalization. Kudos to TATA's they bought Jaguar and they bought Corus.Lets fight Chinese by our abilities and not by our conservativeness.If we follow the latter what difference is between them and us?
