Another massive setback for China where it hurts! Big Action taken by India in this sector

The government of India has taken more action and this will have a massive impact too. China’s aggression and expansionist approach in eastern Ladakh is costing it dear. The violent face-off between India and Chinese forces in May has prompted Indian government to take very strong note of the belligerence and take quick and massive action on its part. Not only, India continues to isolate China through diplomatic channels an international level, It continues to take action that will be a big setback for China through different restrictions and bans.  

In recent step, India has decided to put restrictions on some Chinese firms that make telecom equipment. Narendra Modi government will make a list of trusted companies to buy the equipment from and this means that certain companies will have to face restrictions.  

So far, Chinese companies have dominated the telecom sector, but they will have to bear a huge loss due to this move of the government.  

Earlier also, the Modi government had banned many Chinese apps, including TikTok and PUBG, resulting in huge losses to the Chinese developers.  

One of the biggest players in the telecom sector is China's ZTE. Apart from this, Huawei also has a good market share. Due to the aggressive and expansionist attitude of the Communist Party of China, these companies are now going to suffer. The central government will prepare a list of reliable companies providing telecom equipment, from which telecom companies in India can buy equipment. This decision will have a direct impact on Chinese companies.  

Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad on Wednesday said that this decision has been taken to promote security in the telecom sector. Under this, the government will release a list of trustworthy companies. Equipment will be purchased from these companies to build telecom networks in the country. He further said that the list of companies will be prepared by the

National Cybersecurity Coordinator. The list of trusted companies and products will be approved by a committee, whose deputy will be the National Security Advisor. The committee will also include members of the concerned departments and ministries. Along with them, two members will be industry and independent experts.

Refusing to comment on connecting the decision to China, Prasad said that the plan focuses on promoting equipment developed by indigenous companies. "Our aim is to further strengthen the security of the telecom sector," Ravi Shankar Prasad said. He also said that these instructions will not affect the agreements related to annual maintenance. Devices that are being used in the network before the instructions are issued, are also excluded from their scope. There is also a provision to give preference to companies in the country.

Earlier on June 29, 2020, the Government had banned 59 mobile apps and on September 2, 2020, 118 more apps were banned under section 69A of the Information Technology Act.
