Amid tensions at the Chinese border, the Government of India has banned 43 more mobile apps, most of which are in China, focusing on national security. India’s Digital Surgical Strike in the Chinese app caught the dragon. China has objected to this move by the Government of India and has protested that India’s move violated WTO rules.
The Government of India has banned 43 other Chinese mobile apps, including Ali Express, the e-commerce app of Alibaba Group. This is the fourth time the Indian government has taken action amid chaos on the Chinese border since May. India has so far banned China-based 267Ap. Earlier, the Government had banned 29 mobile applications under the Information Technology Act 69A on June 29 and 118 on 2 September 2020. These include apps such as PubG, TicketLock, UC Browser, FacebookU, WeChat Reading.
China’s embassy spokesman Ji Rong has accused India of repeatedly banning Chinese-themed mobile apps, using it as an excuse for ‘national security’. “We oppose the incident of repeatedly banning our country’s apex from India on the pretext of ‘national security’,” spokesman G Rong said. This move in India is against the WTO’s norm.
We hope that India will provide a fair, fair and non-discriminatory business environment for all companies, including China, and improve discriminatory activities, ”he said. The Chinese government has always expected foreign Chinese companies to comply with international rules and comply with laws and regulations and adhere to public order and good morals, spokesman Xi said.
