China urges India to end 'discriminative' controls

China has called on India to stop unspecified discrimination against Chinese goods and companies in the midst of tensions over a border clash.

Beijing: China has called on India to stop unspecified discrimination against Chinese goods and companies in the midst of tensions over a border clash.

Asked about news reports that both countries were tightening import controls, a Chinese Commerce Ministry spokesman denied Beijing had taken any action against Indian goods.

Gao Feng accused India of taking unspecified improper action.

Gao expressed hope India "would immediately correct the discriminatory practices against China and Chinese enterprises".

India on Monday banned 59 apps with Chinese links, including TikTok, UC Browser, SHAREit and WeChat, saying they were prejudicial to sovereignty, integrity and security of the country.
