China Opposes App ban on Wechat ; Demands to Revoke ban on WeChat, other apps

Social media app Wechat is one of the 59 Chinese apps that India first banned. China, which remained silent for a month after the ban, has now said it wants to rectify the mistake. Ji Rong, a spokesman for the Chinese embassy, ​​said they had heard reports of a ban on the app. This eliminates the legal right and interest of Chinese companies to do business. A spokesman said a complaint had been lodged with the government seeking rectification of the mistake. It is a matter of constant reminder to Chinese companies that they must act only in accordance with international and local laws. The Government of India has a responsibility to protect the legal rights and interests of international companies. They include Chinese businesses. That is the principle of the market.

Practical cooperation between China and India is beneficial to both countries. Deliberate interference in it will not protect India’s interests. Rong said they are committed to taking steps to protect the legal rights of Chinese companies. It is doubtful whether WeChat is the only one of the banned apps to have officially complained to China about it.
