Chinese App Ban reactions
China invoked sentiments around Yoga and Rabindranath Tagore to counter India’s ban on 118 Chinese apps.
According to a report in Hindustan Times, China’s spokesperson Hua Chunying, reciting a line from a Tagore poem, said: “”We read the world wrong, and say that it deceives us.”
Hua said Tagore and yoga were both popular in China, but that Beijing did not consider them a threat, unlike India that considers things of Chinese origin a threat.
India China Ancient Civilisations
“As I said both are ancient civilisations with splendid cultures that we are proud of, and the exchange between the two sides have been going on for thousands of years. Also, yoga is becoming more and more popular in China; including myself, I am very fond of Indian culture. But we do not think that Indian culture or the poems or other things are infiltrating here or are posing any threat to Chinese culture,” said Hua.
“What we believe is that the intermingling of different cultures is conducive to promoting people’s mutual understanding and friendship,” she added.
Chinese Apps Ban by India
The 118 apps banned on Wednesday include Baidu, Baidu Express Edition, Alipay, Tencent Watchlist, FaceU, WeChat reading, Government WeChat, Tencent Weiyun, APUS Launcher Pro, APUS Security, Cut Cut, ShareSave by Xiaomi, and CamCard, besides PUBG Mobile and PUBG Mobile Lite.
