Paper suggests dashboard, integrating data of Chinese cos for real-time monitoring

China is using its commercial entities in India to gather intelligence, pick out scientists and take economic control, argued a paper submitted at a recent meeting of top police officials. “Chinese entities are using investment received from top companies such as Alibaba and Tencent to own, control and manage Indian entities,” said the paper, submitted as part of a theme-based study for the annual DGP-IGP conference.

Shell companies and Chinese-controlled loan, Ponzi and online gaming apps are being used to acquire real-time sensitive personal data of Indian citizens, it claimed. To monitor Chinese entities on a real-time basis, the paper suggested setting up of a dashboard, integrating data of such companies including of their directors, employees, contractors and sub-contractors.
