New Delhi: China is concerned about the decision taken by the Indian government to ban 59 Chinese Apps in India.

“China was concerned about India’s decision to ban Chinese apps and is checking the facts now,” Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian told media in China.

Both China and India have benefited from their pragmatic cooperation, Zhao said, adding that undermining such cooperation goes against India’s own interests.

The Ministry of Home Affairs has banned 59 Chinese apps in India. Popular apps Tik Tok, SHEIN, WeChat axed in India.

The MHA notification stated that the Ministry of Information Technology has received many complaints from various sources including several reports about misuse of some mobile apps available on Android and iOS platforms for stealing and surreptitiously transmitting users’ data in an unauthorised manner to servers which have locations outside India.
