Remote accessing is highly sensitive technology?
Dude its there since the days of Windows XP, it came bundled with it.
Furthermore, remote access cannot happen if you don't keep a network connection with the HQ in China. China cannot connect to Indian equipment through magic. Obviously Indians are giving a network access to the Chinese which they are claiming to access for remote support. Remove the network. Even if its on a public network, block the remote access ports or goto your Access Control List (ACL) settings and just set it to deny all incoming traffic (except from here n here) and on these ports. Ports are numbers that define different services (software) running on the same hardware connected to a network. All data is tagged with an outbound port so the receiving computer knows what this data is for. Block the "Manchurian" port if there really is such a thing.
Normally when we need to give remote support over a public network, the remote company allows us to establish a VPN (for which they supply us a RSA token) and all of our traffic is monitored and is limited to one specific task, once remote support is finished the VPN is taken off.
Such a fear mongering article as if Remote Access is something big or unmanageable.
Seems more like local Indian companies managed to scare the Indians back into chasing out Chinese companies wrongfully.
