From now on, the central government will check whether Chinese smart phones are safe for the people

Is Chinese smartphone safe for you at all? This time the center will test it in the interest of the people

None of us is unaware of the Indo-China conflict. The Center has been expressing skepticism or protest on any issue related to China since the border tensions in June last year. 220 Chinese apps were also banned last year due to security concerns. However, this time the Indian government has targeted Chinese smartphone brands due to this concern. According to a report in The Morning Context, the Modi government has issued notices to Chinese smartphone brands seeking details of the data and components used.

According to Counterpoint Research, the list of Chinese smartphone brands includes Vivo, Oppo, Xiaomi and OnePlus. At present, these companies account for more than 50% of the Indian smartphone market. However, the Indian government wants to find out whether the smartphones sold by these Chinese brands are safe for Indian consumers, and has recently taken this decision. It is clear from this that the Center is reluctant to compromise with the security of the people of the country.

Since India banned multiple Chinese applications last year, its smartphone brands have been aggressively dividing the Indian market, increasing domestic production and investment in the country. But the report said the new notice was seen as a retaliatory measure as some of the investments the companies had made to the government had not been properly met. These companies include Oppo, Vivo and its sub-brand iQOO. It is unknown at this time what he will do after leaving the post.

Meanwhile, according to a report in the Economic Times (ET), the latest move by the Indian government is expected to be part of a larger crackdown on Chinese companies. According to ET, Chinese brands such as Huawei or ZTE will also be under government scrutiny due to the rules. The report added that not only hardware but also software details, especially apps pre-installed on Chinese smartphones, could come under scrutiny.

However, a source told ET that the government does not want to intimidate companies in this way, but only to ensure security issues in their own country. However, Chinese brands are quite alarmed by the notice issued by the Indian government. It is unknown at this time what he will do after leaving the post.
