Chinese propaganda outlets go on overdrive to slam India's ban on 59 China-linked apps, ask Modi govt to prevent 'economic conflict'

Firstpost  

Notwithstanding imminent losses to Chinese firms on account of India’s decision, state-controlled media outlets in China continue to allege that it is India that stands to lose Since the build-up of tensions along the Line of Actual Control in Ladakh, Chinese propaganda outlets have been on an overdrive in terms of targeting India. The article noted, “It is undeniable that the app ban will hurt the commercial interests of relevant Chinese companies, but, when looking at the bigger picture, it is clear that India is in no position to cause harm to China’s juggernaut economy.” The article also sought to ridicule campaigns in India to boycott Chinese products, saying that there are “no available and affordable alternatives to Chinese-made products such as smartphones, chemicals, automotive components and many other items”. Another article in the newspaper quoted Sha Jun, an executive partner at the India Investment Services Center of the Yingke Law Firm, as saying that the Indian government’s action of banning the apps was “childish and emotional”, and that it “marks a very bad signal for further Chinese investment in India”. Notwithstanding imminent losses to Chinese firms on account of India’s decision, state-controlled media outlets in China continue to allege that it is India that stands to lose.
