India banned the use of cameras from Mainland China for toll roads, citing safety concerns.

India is once again talking about "data security". According to a report by Bloomberg on the 7th, India is using the so-called "security" as an excuse to stop using cameras made in mainland China, and instead is purchasing products from suppliers in the United States, Germany, and the Chinese region of Taiwan. Informed sources revealed that India has ordered a ban on importing so-called "sensitive technological equipment" from China, and is gradually replacing the mainland Chinese-made cameras currently in use. The report stated that India is progressing with a major project to use non-contact cameras that do not require vehicles to slow down to replace traditional toll booths, in order to improve the efficiency of highway travel. Specifically, the National Highways Authority of India plans to purchase camera equipment for approximately 1150 toll booths nationwide, and has currently selected three suppliers: Delta Electronics' Crystal Communication from Taiwan, German industrial component manufacturer Bosch, and Motorola Solutions based in Chicago. The reason given by India for these restrictions is once again the old issue of "security risks". Informed sources indicated that the Indian government is concerned that data collected by equipment manufactured in whole or in part in mainland China may be used for intelligence gathering, particularly during times of military conflict.
