      Finally! While my EU hopelessly fails to stop China, India is doing a commendable job of holding its own.

        I support India on this, but don't stop at banning China apps, start kicking Xiaomi, Realme, Oppo, Vivo, One Plus & all the other China phone in India, only IPhone, Sony, Asus, IPhone is allowed in India market, meanwhile give full support to Micromax.

        Next step ban all China electric appliances, agriculture products & lastly stop trading with China totally, stop all export to China, India embassy should leave China & at he same time chase China embassy out of India.

                  What is practiced under the label of communism in the real world is way different than the textbook definition.
                  Communism, Fascism and Socialism are all just different branches of the same authoritarian tree. In the real world, some form of authotarinism is practiced under those labels.

                          LOL. If you scare of data sharing, don't use smart phone

                            and they still say no proof ;. If so why Indian government ban them?

                              But more invasive Chinese companies like XIAOMI, Huawei, and the BKK Family get a free pass? Why the double standard from the BJP?

                              Also, TikTok is very much thriving elsewhere, especially in the US (where inauguration content is plentiful), so...

That's why the international version is not accessible in mainland.
