Not Everything Chinese Is A Virus. Or Is It?

Well, the halt of Chinese products and the promotion of 'Make in India' was not just a hype after all. Looking at the current scenario, who would want to invest in Chinese businesses? We'd rather sustain our own economy right now. Since, China is very much the centre of attention for all the wrong reasons right now, we have another legit reason for you to say good bye to all things Chinese. These Chinese apps could be spreading a pandemic in your phone right now. Get rid of them, we suggest. It's not only us but the government agrees too.

There are also some alarming and ironic facts that we will talk about but first let's see which are the apps in your phone that need to go to trash right now.

Weibo (Time to say 'We Go')

WeChat (Time to sing We don't Chat anymore)

SHAREIt (Shares more than you want it to)

UC News (gives your news to spies)

UC Browser (knows what's happening in your house while you browse)

BeautyPlus (Minus privacy of course)

NewsDog (Don't be the dog)

Viva Video (We 'no' video)

Parallel Space (And parallel spying)

APUS browser (Read again. It's not ASUS)

Perfect Corp (with imperfect intentions)
