China News Service, September 3, Ministry of Commerce spokesperson Gao Feng said on September 2 that the Ministry of Information Technology of India announced a ban on the grounds of “damaging India’s sovereignty and integrity, Indian defense, national security, and public order”. 118 Chinese mobile apps are used in India.
China expresses serious concern about this and firmly opposes it.
China urges India to correct its wrong practices.
On the 3rd, the Ministry of Commerce held a regular press conference.
Gao Feng made the above statement when answering reporters' questions.
Gao Feng pointed out that India has abused the concept of "national security" and adopted discriminatory restrictive measures against Chinese companies, violating relevant WTO rules.
The Chinese government has always required Chinese overseas companies to abide by international rules and operate in compliance with laws and regulations.
The relevant practices of India not only harm the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese investors and service providers, but also harm the interests of Indian consumers and the investment environment of India as an open economy.
Gao Feng emphasized that China urges India to correct its wrong practices.
China-India economic and trade cooperation is mutually beneficial and win-win.
It is hoped that India and China will jointly maintain the hard-won cooperation and development situation and create an open, fair and just business environment for international investors and service providers, including Chinese companies.
