47 More Chinese Apps Banned in India; PubG, Ali Express Could be Next

A few days back, China had raised the app ban issue during a bilateral meeting with New Delhi. During the meetin. the Indian side made it very clear to the Chinese that the action was taken in view of the security issues and it did not want the data-related to its citizens to be compromised.

Last month, India had banned 59 Chinese mobile applications including the widely-used social media platforms such as TikTok, WeChat, and Helo within view of the threat to the nation’s sovereignty and security. The majority of the apps banned in the June 29 order were red-flagged by intelligence agencies over concerns that they were collecting user data and possibly also sending them “outside”.

After the ban, the Chinese foreign ministry had reacted to the ban saying that it was India’s duty to protect the legal rights of international investors.
