Are they afraid of the competition? I remember all those articles about how India uses privacy invading technologies forced upon its citizens.

I don't think it's competition so much as the software is literally spyware for the Chinese government, and that's been proven pretty robustly

Nobody argues that, but I believe the average Indian citizen spied upon by his government has little worry about the Chinese spying on him.
