Indian firms should use 'national security filter' in business dealings with China: S Jaishankar

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar emphasized the importance of a "national security filter" for Indian businesses dealing with China amid the ongoing border tensions. He urged Indian firms to prioritize sourcing from domestic manufacturers but did not entirely prohibit dealings with China. Jaishankar highlighted concerns over the weaponization of economic activity by certain countries, citing instances of political pressure exerted through exports, imports, and tourism stability.
