Closed-door WTO meeting, fierce confrontation between China and the United States and India

-

 For a period of time, the United States and India have generalized the concept of national security, under the guise of maintaining data security, and unreasonably suppressed Chinese applications such as WeChat and TikTok. According to Reuters and the South China Morning Post, at a closed-door meeting of the World Trade Organization last Friday (2nd), China and the United States and India engaged in a fierce confrontation regarding the ban on Chinese apps imposed by the United States and India.

The report quoted an informed Geneva trade official as saying that at a meeting of the WTO Council for Trade in Services, Chinese representatives accused the US and India of their actions "obviously violate WTO rules, restrict cross-border trade services, and violate the basic principles and principles of the multilateral trading system. aims".


The Chinese side stated that the claims of the United States and India are not supported by evidence, and TikTok's data collection is also a standard practice for thousands of applications worldwide.


The U.S. representative argued at the meeting that the action taken against the Chinese application was to maintain U.S. national security. The US claims that, according to the WTO’s General Agreement on Trade in Services, member states have the right to take such actions in cases involving “directly or indirectly providing services for the establishment of military installations”. China countered that the US move was an "obvious abuse" of the relevant provisions.

In addition to the US representatives, in the face of China's accusations, India jumped out of threats, saying that "China should first reflect on its own transparency record" and that it "is unwilling to be fully open to foreign trade in services."


Since the beginning of this year, the United States and India have frequently used national security as an excuse to label applications from China as "stealing user data" and "threatening national security".


At the end of June this year, the Indian government announced that 59 Chinese apps, including TikTok, WeChat, and Meitu, were banned on the grounds that they might leak user privacy and endanger national security. Subsequently, the scope of this ban was further expanded, and India banned 118 Chinese applications.


In the United States, the encounters between TikTok and WeChat are even more twists and turns. Since Trump threatened to block TikTok and WeChat 45 days later in early August, the game has continued around TikTok transactions and the WeChat ban. TikTok and WeChat have also taken up the arms of the law and asked the US federal judge to postpone the ban.


Regarding the unreasonable accusations made by the United States and India, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of our country has repeatedly emphasized that the Chinese government has always required Chinese companies to conduct foreign cooperation on the basis of abiding by international rules and local laws and regulations.


my country’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Hua Chunying said that India’s ban on Chinese apps is “harmful to others and against itself”. Don’t harm the long-term interests of the two countries and their peoples because of short-sightedness. Regarding the United States, my country’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Wang Wenbin also emphasized that the United States has generalized the concept of national security, presumed guilt against relevant companies and issued threats without showing any evidence. This violates market economy principles and exposes the United States The hypocrisy of maintaining fairness and freedom and the typical double standards also violate the WTO's principles of openness, transparency, and non-discrimination.
