Revoke Ban On WeChat & Other Apps, China Tells India

China on Tuesday protested against India's decision to ban a plethora of Chinese apps and warned that India should “correct its wrongdoing”. China said the ban was a “deliberate interference” and it will take “all necessary measures” to protect the interest of Chinese businesses.

This comes in the wake of India's decision to ban certain apps that belong to Chinese companies and were allegedly involved in activities detrimental to India's interest.

In the latest move, India has banned 47 more apps operating as clones of the 59 Chinese apps, including TikTok. In all, over 250 Chinese apps are being monitored by the government, and each that poses a threat is being picked and thrown out.
