Beijing has criticized India’s decision to stop using Chinese testing kits for the coronavirus because of quality issues as unfair and irresponsible. The Indian Council of Medical Research  said on Monday it planned to return the kits for antibody tests procured from two Chinese firms because of poor accuracy.

The Chinese embassy said on Tuesday it was deeply concerned by the Indian decision and Chinese authorities had validated the equipment.

“It is unfair and irresponsible for certain individuals to label Chinese products as ‘faulty’ and look at issues with preemptive prejudice,” embassy spokeswoman Ji Rong said in a statement.

China recently criticized an Indian decision to step up scrutiny of investments from neighboring countries, seen as a move to stave off opportunistic takeovers by Chinese firms during the coronavirus outbreak, Reuters said.
