India urged to review ban on Chinese apps

BEIJING: The Chinese Embassy in India has urged the Indian government to correct wrongdoings of banning apps with Chinese background. In response to media query on the restriction on WeChat of sending and receiving messages in India, Ji Rong, counselor and spokesperson of the embassy, said the Chinese side has lodged solemn representation to the Indian side and asked the Indian side to correct its wrongdoings, according to China Global Television Network here on Wednesday.
“On June 29, the Indian govt banned 59 mobile apps with Chinese background including WeChat, which severely damaged the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese companies,” Ji said. “I want to reiterate that the Chinese govt consistently asks Chinese enterprises to abide by international rules and local laws,” Ji said.
