“Yoga and Dangal movies are also liked in China. It never came to our mind that India can become a threat to us,” the China Spokesperson said.
Beijing| India’s ban on 118 Chinese apps after the recently heightened tensions along LAC at Eastern Ladakh seems to have riled up Chinese govt. In its latest statement addressing the issue of strained ties between the neighbouring countries, it has mentioned Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore, Yoga in India and Aamir Khan’s film Dangal. According to China’s Foreign Ministry, India has banned apps at the behest of America. China said that its relationship with India is thousands of years old and citizens of both countries should be given a chance to come closer.
China’s first statement
China’s Commerce Ministry statement came after India banned 118 Chinese apps. Its spokesman Gao Feng said, “India has taken action against Chinese companies with the wrong intentions. This is against the rules of the World Trade Organization (WTO). We demand that India rectify its mistake in this matter. Business relations will benefit both countries. But, the right environment is necessary. Both sides will suffer from this ban.”
Second statement
The second statement came from the Chinese Ministry on India’s action. Foreign Ministry spokeswoman said, “India is also harming its citizens by unilaterally banning it. This is causing loss to our companies as well. I am surprised that the day India decided to ban, the same day America asked other countries to do the same. Do India and America stand together on this issue?”
A close relationship with India
She further said that all of them should remember that we have a close and historical relationship with India. “India and China are ancient civilizations. We should also look to the future before taking steps for the benefit of some time. We are neighbours. The relationship between the two countries is one thousand years old. Rabindranath Tagore is very famous in China. Apart from this, Yoga and Dangal movies are also very much liked in China. It never came to our mind that India can become a threat to us. Hope India understands this.”
