China today said it "resolutely opposed" India's move to block more of its apps and its "repeated use of national security" while doing so. On Tuesday, the government blocked 43 more mobile apps, mostly Chinese, citing activities "prejudicial to sovereignty and integrity of India, defence of India, security of state and public order".

"China firmly opposes Indian side's repeated use of 'national security' as excuse to prohibit mobile Apps with Chinese background. Hope India provides fair, impartial and non-discriminatory business environment for all market players and rectify discriminatory practices," said Ji Rong, Chinese spokesperson. In a more detailed statement in response to the media, Ji Rong said the Chinese government had always required overseas Chinese companies to abide by international rules, operate in compliance with laws and regulations and conform to "public order and good morals".
