China is firmly opposed to such irresponsible and ill-intentioned practice’, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson said while responding to allegations made by the New York Times about Chinese involvement in Mumbai’s power outage that took place on 12th October, 2020. These allegations were also validated by Maharashtra’s Energy Minister.
