India adds 118 Chinese apps to ban list, including PUBG, Tencent and Alipay
India has recently added more 118 Chinese apps to its banned list, including PUBG, Tencent and Alipay. The list now totals up to 224 apps since June. The ban is due to an “emergent nature of threats” in view of information that they are engaged in activities which are “prejudicial to sovereignty and integrity of India, defence of India, the security of the state and public order.”
“The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology has received many complaints from various sources including several reports about misuse of some mobile apps available on Android and iOS platforms for stealing and surreptitiously transmitting users’ data in an unauthorised manner to servers which have locations outside India. The compilation of these data, its mining and profiling by elements hostile to national security and defence of India, which ultimately impinges upon the sovereignty and integrity of India, is a matter of very deep and immediate concern which requires emergency measures,” India’s IT Ministry said in a statement.
Back in June, apps like TikTok, WeChat, UC Browser and Meitu were banned from India. It is also believed that the ban was due to tensions between China and India due to a border dispute. ‘Coincidentally’, the new list of banned apps was revealed just as India and China had another standoff at the border.
Here’s the full list of the 118 newly banned apps:

Meanwhile in early August, as Trump declared in Executive Order to ban TikTok and other “mobile applications developed and owned by companies in the People’s Republic of China”. TikTok, in response, is filing a lawsuit against the U.S. government citing lack of evidence and due process.
