India was one of the first countries which started boycotting Chinese apps from the past few months, and the government has already banned more than 100 chines apps, and it is banning another 118 apps said to be either based in or linked to China.
Previously India banned TikTok, WeChat, and more than 50 other China-based apps in June, suggesting they were a security issue.
The country’s Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology said that it had received complaints about apps “stealing and surreptitiously transmitting users’ data in an unauthorized manner to servers which have locations outside India.” The ministry’s announcement doesn’t mention China specifically. It broadly states that the action will “safeguard the interests of crores of Indian mobile and internet users.
For those of you readers who do not know what the reason for this huge Chinese apps’ boycott is, The series of apps’ ban comes amid the growing tension between India and China in the eastern Ladakh. Earlier in the year, there was a clash between the Indian Army and China’s PLA (People’s Liberation Army) and resulted in the deaths of several soldiers of both India and China. Since then, Indians have seen the ban of lots of chines apps one after another.
