China News Service, January 27. According to the website of the Chinese Embassy in India, Counselor Ji Rong, the spokesperson of the Chinese Embassy in India, answered reporters' questions about the Indian media's reports that the Indian government continues to ban mobile apps with Chinese backgrounds.
Question from the reporter: According to Indian media reports, the Indian government will continue to ban mobile apps with Chinese backgrounds. What's your comment on this?
The spokesperson pointed out that since last year, India has repeatedly used the so-called maintenance of national security as an excuse to ban mobile applications with Chinese background.
The relevant practices violate the WTO's non-discriminatory principles and the principles of fair competition in the market economy, and seriously damage the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises.
The Chinese government has always required Chinese companies to conduct foreign cooperation on the basis of abiding by international rules and local laws and regulations.
The Indian government has the responsibility to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of international investors, including Chinese companies, in accordance with WTO rules and market principles.
The practices of the Indian government have also hindered the improvement of the Indian business environment and the innovative development of related industries.
The essence of China-India economic and trade cooperation is mutual benefit and win-win results.
We urge the Indian side to immediately correct this discriminatory practice and avoid causing more harm to the cooperation between the two sides.
