India’s top trending app “Remove China Apps” does exactly what it says
- Tuesday | 2nd June, 2020
NEW DELHI (Reuters) – India’s top trending free app on Google’s mobile app store, with more than 5 million downloads since late May, is called “Remove China Apps” and does exactly what it says on the label. Remove China Apps, whose logo contains a dragon’s head with two brooms, scans a user’s phone for apps such as ByteDance’s TikTok and Alibaba’s UC Browser. Once deleted, a message pops up saying, “You are awesome, no China app found.”OneTouch AppLabs, which has developed the app to remove Chinese ones, did not respond to a request for comment. The protest against Chinese apps comes after India in April said stricter screening rules will apply to foreign direct investments from China, worrying investors there. He predicted the protests will be short-lived: “It hurts but (the boycott calls) are going to fade.”(Reporting by Aditya Kalra; Editing by Euan Rocha and Alexander Smith)
