NEW DELHI - India on Wednesday banned another 118 mobile apps including Tencent Holdings’s popular videogame PUBG, as it stepped up the pressure on Chinese technology companies following a standoff with Beijing at the border.
The latest ban comes a day after a senior Indian official said troops were deployed on four strategic hilltops after what New Delhi called an attempted Chinese incursion along a disputed Himalayan border. New Delhi has since begun eroding China’s dominant position in India’s internet economy. It began with a ban on 59 apps, which included ByteDance’s popular video-sharing app TikTok, Alibaba’s UC Browser and Xiaomi’s Mi Community app.
Now the fun begins: the New Paradigm, Asia Digital, let's see what happens... that market is, let's see, 1.4b plus 1.4b equals 2.8 billion pairs of consumer-eyeballs, that's a lot...
Maybe also for the reason of national security? In fact In China we also tried to block something from India, but unluckily, nothing found...
