>US-China relations are bad
That's true although going back over 10 years (and I'm sure before) at least getting a Chinese business visa has been a bit of a pain--not really difficult but a bunch of paperwork. On the plus side, as of a few years ago, you could get a 10-year visa.
And India was just a bureaucratic mess. I ended up canceling two different business trips to India because I couldn't get a visa in the necessary window. My understanding is that in normal now there's visa on arrival.
