275 more Chinese apps on India's radar, list includes PUBG, Resso




India has drawn up a list of 275 Chinese apps that it will examine for any violation of national security and user privacy, signalling heightened scrutiny and the possibility of more Chinese internet companies being banned in the country, according to people aware of the developments.
This follows the high-profile ban of 59 Chinese apps last month, including short video app TikTok, amid simmering geopolitical tensions between the two Asian giants.

The list, reviewed by ET, includes gaming app PubG backed by China’s most valuable internet major Tencent, Zili by phonemaker XiaomiAliExpress by ecommerce giant Alibaba as well as apps like Resso and ULike from TikTok-owner ByteDance.
