Nikki Haley, the first Indian-American to serve in the US cabinet, has
praised India's decision to ban 59 Chinese apps, saying New Delhi "is
continuing to show it wont back down from Chinas aggression".
Taking
to Twitter on Wednesday, Haley also the former US Ambassador to the UN,
said: Good to see India ban 59 popular apps owned by Chinese firms,
including TikTok, which counts India as one of its largest markets.
"India is continuing to show it won't back down from China's aggression."
Haley's
remarks came a day after US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo welcomed
India's move, saying the "clean app" policy will promote New Delhi's
national security against the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) spying on
the country.
"We welcome India's ban on certain mobile apps that
can serve as appendages of the CCP's surveillance state. India's 'clean
app' approach will boost India's sovereignty, will also boost India's
integrity and national security as the Indian government itself has
stated," he said while briefing reporters in Washington on Tuesday.
On
Monday, India's Electronics and Information Technology Ministry banned
the 59 Chinese apps, saying they opened the way for "elements hostile to
national security and defence" to exploit them to "ultimately impinges
upon the sovereignty and integrity of India".
