India has special China problem, LAC standoff calls for investment scrutiny: Jaishankar

Hindustan Times  

India has a “special China problem” and the four-year military standoff on the Line of Actual Control and the state of the bilateral relationship call for precautions such as scrutiny of Chinese investments, external affairs minister S Jaishankar said on Saturday. He said India is not the only country debating problems linked to China, since China is among the key economic and national security discussions in European countries and the US. “India has a China problem, a special China problem, that’s over and above the world’s general China problem,” he said. In May, Jaishankar had contended that Indian firms have to assess business dealings with China through a “national security filter” and do more sourcing from domestic manufacturers amid the standoff on the LAC.
