A reporter asked: On September 2, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology of India issued an announcement announcing the ban on 118 mobile applications such as Baidu Search. What's China’s comment on this?
Ji Rong said that China is seriously concerned about and firmly opposed to using "national security" as an excuse to ban mobile applications with Chinese background, and urges India to correct this discriminatory practice that violates WTO rules, including China. Market entities of various countries invest and operate in India to provide an open, fair and just business environment.
Ji Rong pointed out that the Chinese government has always required Chinese overseas companies to abide by international rules and operate in compliance with laws and regulations.
The relevant Indian practices 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.
Suppressing closure and restrictions is not beneficial to a country's own development. Openness, fairness and transparency is the right way to integrate into global cooperation.
Ji Rong emphasized that China and India are development opportunities rather than strategic threats to each other. The essence of China-India economic and trade cooperation is mutual benefit and win-win results.
We hope that India and China will jointly maintain the hard-won cooperation and development situation and return to the right track of win-win cooperation as soon as possible.
