The Union government has decided to ban 54 China-specific apps in India owing to a national “security threat." This is the fifth major event where the government put a blanket ban on Chinese apps, first, the being in June 2021 where TikTok, Shareit, UC Browser and 56 other Chinese apps were blocked. According to news agency PTI, the Ministry of Home Affairs has recommended a ban on 54 Chinese mobile applications that pose a threat to the country’s security. The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) will formally issue a notification banning the operations of these apps in India.
