This time it bans Chinese apps, what does India plan to ban next?

India plans to export Chinese goods to India. Not long ago, India's Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology announced that it would close 59 Chinese applications "based on national security considerations", including TikTok, the overseas version of Douyin, UC Browser, WeChat, etc. Helo, WeChat, UC Browser, Baidu Maps, Kwai (Kuaishou), Shein (electronic platform), CamScanner (overseas version of "Scanner"), etc., are all banned on the list listed by NIC. From short film application software to office software, e-commerce platforms to communication software, no one is spared.

In response to this ban, the Indian government stood up and explained to the public that it was "to safeguard national legal sovereignty and network security." India's Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology stated that it has received complaints from Indian Internet users about Chinese applications. They claim that Chinese applications have stolen users' personal information without permission and even spread it outside India.

Recently, some Indian netizens who are quite emotional have begun to reject Chinese-made mobile phones. Xiaomi ranks first in India in terms of mobile phone sales and share, so it naturally bears the brunt. Some people even smashed some of Xiaomi's offline stores. Xiaomi closed almost all of its offline stores to avoid the limelight. It even informed Xiaomi employees in India not to wear Xiaomi work clothes at work to protect their own safety. Some netizens on the Internet revealed that Xiaomi has put up a Made in India slogan on its Indian store, covering the Xiaomi logo. ?

Since the ban took effect, importers gradually began to report that goods imported from China were intercepted by Indian customs at the entry port, requiring 100% unpacking and inspection. The affected ports and airports include Kinni, Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata and Bengaluru. So far, Indian officials have not given clear information. Indian Customs only told those importers who purchased goods from China that the customs clearance time of Chinese goods would be delayed, but did not give a reason. The Indian Ministry of Finance also issued a statement and has not signed any administrative documents prohibiting or restricting the import of Chinese goods. ?
