China has voiced its objection to the arrest of two Chinese employees of Vivo by India’s Enforcement Directorate (ED) in a money laundering case. The Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson urged New Delhi not to discriminate against companies based on their origin and assured consular protection for the arrested individuals. The ED has arrested three top executives, including Vivo India’s interim CEO, CFO, and a consultant, as part of an investigation into alleged money laundering by the Chinese smartphone maker. The arrests follow a series of actions taken by the ED, revealing a significant money laundering network involving Chinese nationals and Indian companies associated with Vivo. China firmly supports its companies in safeguarding their lawful rights and interests.
