India Bans 59 High-Risk Apps, Incidentally Helping to Boost the Business of Local Apps
Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, visited the northern Indian region of Ladakh on the morning of 3 July, where clashes between the military force of India and China broke out last month. Sources revealed that he met with troops at a local military base and was debriefed by senior military personnel. His visit was accompanied by India’s Defence Minister and Chief of Army Staff.
Additionally, due to the newly discovered safety risks posed by Chinese mobile apps, India has announced a ban on 59 high-risk apps developed and run by Chinese companies. 48 hours after the ban announcement, downloads of Indian short-video application Roposo increased 22 million times on Android devices and exceeded a total of 80 million times by the time of reporting. The number of Roposo downloads on Android devices is expected to exceed 100 million times in the coming days.
According to tech analysts, China has been banning apps developed in other countries to enter the Chinese market so they could block access to information and control public opinion direction and risks. Taking advantage of the international community’s tolerance and laissez-faire attitude, China has successfully penetrated different countries through the development of Chinese apps. These apps have since become weapons in spreading propaganda, stealing information and intervening the internal politics of various countries.
