“We hope that it will be resolved properly.

Lu said, “We also hope that the legitimate rights of the Chinese enterprise and staff will be safeguarded under law."

Workers at Oppo’s Noida office staged a protest on Tuesday after one of its Chinese officials allegedly threw the Indian flag in a dustbin. The officials of the Chinese firm offered an unconditional apology after the district authorities and deputy labour commissioner intervened in the matter. PTI
