First Indian Railway canceled a 470 Crore INR contract with a Chinese company back on 17th June 2020. Followed by another ban imposed on Chinese Android apps by the Indian government on 29th June 2020. Indian Government banned 59 Chinese Mobile based applications, which include some very popular apps like TikTok, Helo App, WeChat, UC Browser, etc. The reason behind this imposed ban has been explained by the Indian government officials, that theses apps possessed security threats and threats related to data theft; to maintain the country’s sovereignty and security such a step has been taken.
