Biden-era US official Lindsey Ford has praised India’s swift crackdown on Chinese telecom gear and social media platforms, telling a Congressional hearing that New Delhi acted far more decisively than Western nations in countering Beijing’s technology footprint.
“India moved faster than everybody else on ripping China out of the telecom sector, out of social media apps,” Ford said, praising what she described as New Delhi’s “hard and realistic view” of the security challenges posed by China.
