Beijing: China on Thursday objected and expressed concerns over India's decision to ban 118 mobile applications.
Speaking at a press briefing, Gao Feng, the spokesperson of Chinese commerce ministry, said India has abused national security by imposing "discriminate restrictions" on the country's companies, state-run Global Times reported.
Urging New Delhi to reconsider its move, Gao said, "China-India economic and trade cooperation yields mutual benefits."

He asserted that Beijing has always asked its companies to comply with international and local rules and regulations in their overseas operations.
"We hope that the Indian side will work with the Chinese side to maintain hard-won bilateral cooperation and development so as to build an open and fair business environment for international investors and services providers including Chinese companies," he was quoted as saying.
