Chinese smartphone maker Vivo and its Indian affiliates are facing accusations from India s financial crime agency of employees concealing their employment when seeking visas and breaching rules by visiting sensitive areas of Jammu and Kashmir. The accusations come amid rising tension between India and China over business activities and border clashes in 2020. The agency claims that at least 30 Chinese individuals entered India on business visas and worked for Vivo without disclosing their employer.
The Enforcement Directorate apprised the Delhi High Court that their investigations revealed that Zhengshen Ou and Zhang Jie, shareholders of Chinese phone maker Vivo, used forged driving licenses.
