China responded by expressing serious concern and saying it hoped India would treat all foreign investors in a non-discriminatory manner.In its response to the ban, Sea told Reuters at the time, "We do not transfer to, or store any data of our Indian users in, China," adding that it was a Singapore company that complied with Indian law.
