To ban 59 apps is understandable as many were engaged in data collection as reported extensively. Next, - will the govt cap Indian tech start up’s over dependence on China funds (approx $4bn)? - will the govt keep China companies away from power, telecom & infra eg 5G rollout?

GoI has ordered a ban on 59 mobile apps by Chinese companies. According to the Ministry of Information Technology, these apps ‘are prejudicial to sovereignty and integrity of India, defence of India, security of state and public order.’ Details:
#Breaking: MIETY directed to block 59 apps, mostly from Chinese companies — including TikTok, Shein, Clash of Kings, Shareit — based on information that these apps are "engaged in activities which [are] prejudicial to sovereignty and integrity of India".

Thread on banning of the 59 Chinese apps and the future of Chinese consumer electronics companies in India. 1/ I’m not going to shed a tear for most of these apps. Likely they were engaged in data theft. And all of them had awful UX

Does anyone have a data of how many Indians were working in these Chinese firms who would all go jobless after banning 59 such Apps!

Strongly back the idea of banning these 59 Chinese apps. Most were stealing data of Indian citizens. In any case China doesn’t allow international companies to run their apps in mainland China. Economic cooperation cannot be a one way street. Hit China where it hurts most. Jai Ho
