Chinese Phones Banned In India
India’s Department of Telecommunications has issued a blanket ban on imports of telecoms equipment from China. This is a bad news for Chinese cell phone manufacturers such as ZTE, Huawei, and Meizu. The reason for the ban isn’t competition issues, or nationalism, but national security. India is concerned that telecoms equipment from China could contain spyware and malware that allow Chinese spies access to Indian telecoms networks. [Pocket-lint]
