China urges India to rectify its wrong practices that have been made.” At a briefing of Chinese foreign ministry Hua Chunying, a spokesperson said “By banning the hi-tech popular and easy to access applications, India is sacrificing the first and foremost rights and interests of Indian users and damaging the Chinese companies. Therefore, it was no gain from such action.”
