As expected, a reaction has been received from China.
Gao Feng, the spokesman of the Chinese commerce ministry, expressed his country’s displeasure saying, ‘We hope India can take concrete measures to maintain the sound development momentum of bilateral economic and trade cooperation.’ At this time, Feng criticised India over the raids at the Huawei offices.
Moreover, Fend fired a salvo of criticism, ‘Indian agencies are implementing an oppressive policy against the Chinese companies. This is a very concerning and serious matter for China.’ The Chinese media also took cognisance of the Indian action in strong words. The government daily, the Global Times, claimed that the ban on the Chinese apps would result in losses to India.
The Chinese daily accused that the Chinese apps ban has political motives behind it. Global Times also said that the ban on the apps and actions against Chinese companies would jolt the Indian economy. Intense reactions had emanated from India after the conflict in the Galwan Valley in 2020. The Indian public and the trading community banned the use of Chinese products. At the same time, even the Indian government adopted an aggressive stand and had decided to ban Chinese apps.
Over the last two years, the relations have been tense between India and China over the Line of Actual Control (LAC) and India has accused China is not fulfilling the promises made. India has adopted strict policies on the economic and trade front to counter the Chinese inflexibility and severe jolts are being felt in the Chinese economy.
