91% think banning Chinese apps and denying contracts to Chinese companies was the right decision.
Is banning Chinese apps in India and denying contracts to Chinese companies the right approach to counter Chinese aggression after the Ladakh clash? Most Indians believe yes, it is. India Today Group-Karvy Insights Mood of the Nation (MOTN) 2020 survey showed that just like the majority of Indians in favour of boycotting China-made goods, here too, over 90 per cent have supported India's decision to ban Chinese origin apps to counter the Chinese aggression.
According to the MOTN survey, 91 per cent think banning Chinese apps and denying contracts to Chinese companies was the right decision, while seven said it was not. The survey had received 12,021 responses.
The survey, conducted across 19 states, also showed that 90 per cent of the 12,021 respondents were in favour of a ban on the China-made products in the country. Seven per cent were not in favour of it.
Amid the simmering border tensions with China, India had in June banned 59 applications of Chinese origin including TikTok, ShareIt, WeChat, UC Browser, Cam Scanner and Club Factory.
In less than a month after banning 59 apps, India again banned 47 Chinese apps that were operating as clones of the earlier banned applications.
India has also prepared a list of over 250 Chinese apps, including apps linked to Alibaba, that it will examine for any user privacy or national security violations, government sources told India Today TV. The list also includes Tencent-backed gaming app PUBG.
While talks to disengage at various clash points are still on, China has been refusing to discuss the standoff in Pangong Tso, with the deadlock in this friction point now deteriorating. India Today TV has learned that the Chinese reluctance that emerged in the fourth round of talks on June 14-15 has escalated now into an all-out refusal to even acknowledge the Pangong Tso situation as a friction point.
THE MOOD OF THE NATION SURVEY
The Mood of the Nation survey was carried out across 97 parliamentary constituencies in 194 assembly constituencies across 19 states in India.
A total of 12,021 interviews were conducted in Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Delhi, Gujarat, Haryana, Jharkhand, Karnataka, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Odisha, Punjab, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal.
While 67 per cent of these interviews were conducted in rural areas, the remaining 33 per cent were carried out in urban areas of the country.
