Govt. of India Bans 59 Chinese Apps through Digital Airstrike

In an unprecedented move, India on Monday (June 29th) banned 59 Chinese mobile apps, including Tikitok, UC Browser, and Cam Scanner. the govt said in a very statement that the apps were "engaged in activities before India's sovereignty and integrity, India's defense, state security, and public order."

While it's believed that the Centre decided to ban these apps because of the continuing tensions between India and China on the road of Actual Control, experts maintained that whether or not the link with China doesn't deteriorate, these apps mustn't are allowed to work in India.

From an estimate, we know that these Chinese apps earn around 30-40% of their total income from India. Popular Chinese app Tik Tok wanted to earn the maximum amount as Rs 100 crore from India till September. But the Centre's decision to ban Tik Tok and other 58 Chinese apps would be a big blow to Beijing's commitment for earning crores of rupees from India. These apps cause the Indian Younger mind to an ideological colony of China. That's why India has made an unprecedented 'digital airstrike' on China's soft power. similar to in 2019, India responded strongly to Pakistan by an airstrike on Balakot and strike in PoK in 2016. verity tribute to twenty Indian soldiers who were martyred in Galwan Valley on June 15 is that we now start saying Hindi Chinese bye-bye in every sphere of life.

China is planning to expand its large business across the globe through the Belt and Road Initiative way. The countries when involved in this project, they become upset today as China is forcing them to pay back their debt. China also wanted to from India as a large element of their business which increases and grows business faster, but India flatly refused to be an element of this project and now India has also conducted an airstrike on China's digital silk route.

China was obtruding not only on the Indian border but it can affect also on your life and your mind and heart with the assistance of the internet. You weren't only using mobile applications manufactured in China, but were also inadvertently delivering all of your personal information to the Chinese companies and therefore the government. for instance, most of China's mobile apps ask 45 percent more permissions from consumers than other apps.

These include apps like Tiktok, UC Browser, Helo, and Shareit. In many cases, these apps also fire permission to use your smartphone's camera and microphone. With the assistance of those applications, your personal conversations may be heard and photos and videos around you'll even be recorded and everyone this is often possible without your permission.

Are you know what the Chginese Law says? As per Chinese law, all companies shuld be shared tbeir app as well as business model data with the Chinese government. It means that your private data may be transferred to the Chinese government by the business controller/ Owner of these mobile apps. It's been often said that 'data will become oil' within the future and any country with maximum data will become the strongest nation.

This digital expansionary policy of China isn't a threat to countries like India only from the safety point of view, rather it had been also harming local traders and entrepreneurs.

The intrusion of Chinese apps into the mobile app market had increased lots within a previous couple of years. In the top mobile apps download list, there have been only 18 Chinese apps within the top 100 apps in 2017, but in 2018 Chinese apps within the top 100 list increased to 44. So, in between 2017 and 2018, how much data are accessed by Chinese Govt., we really don't know that.

Among the most popular Chinese app in India is TikTok, which has quite popular in India having users near about 200 million in India. This app is established and developed by ByteDance, the most popular Chinese company. The amount of Indians playing PUBG-like games on mobile phones is quite 50 million. PUBG is additionally controlled by a Chinese company named Tencent. However, there's no information to ban it yet.

You know that what is the 2nd Internet searching browser in India i.e. China's UC Browser after Google Chrome.UC browser has 22% of total market share in China.. UC Browser belongs to the Chinese company Alibaba. This too has now been banned.

Similarly, Helo may be a social networking app with over 4 million users in India. this is often also an app operated by the ByteDance company. This app has also been banned in India.

Many Indians may have also used Shareit, which could be a file-sharing app, in their smartphone, except for this, you need to even be using an app named Vigo video. This too has now been banned.

Another Chinese app named CamScanner is additionally very fashionable in India. The app is employed to scan documents and pictures and it's about 100 million users. it's also been banned.

According to an estimate, China accounts for about 45 percent of the overall Android applications downloaded in India.

Many countries have already banned these Chinese apps because of privacy and security issues. You know that Australia had banned the utilization of WeChat by Austrilian troops. In January 2018, the US Council on Foreign Relations claimed that China's Communist government runs propaganda through Chinese apps like Baidu.

In the year 2017 in the month of December, Govt. of India had also announced 42 mobile apps of China including Shareit are really dangerous for their security and privacy issues. The Govt. of India had also warned the military forces to neglect and avoid these apps as there is a data transfer issue from India to China.

In 2017, China Govt. had also admitted that apps like Weibo, WeChat, and Baidu violate cybersecurity regulations.

China's itinerant manufacturer Xiaomi is accused of sending its users' data secretly to China.
