PUBG among 118 Chinese apps banned by government

In yet another digital strike on China, the government has banned additional 118 mobile apps, including the popular PUBG app. With this, the total number of Chinese mobile phone apps banned by the government goes up to 224.

The government said these apps were "prejudicial to Sovereignty and Integrity of India, Defence of India, Security of State and Public Order" in its notification announcing ban on the Chinese mobile apps.

Earlier, the government had banned 59 Chinese apps days after the violent clash between Indian and the Chinese troops in the Galwan Valley in Ladakh along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in June.
