Product review app removed from Android stores in China

SHANGHAI (Reuters) – Chinese startup Xiaohongshu, which allows users to post product reviews and share shopping experiences, said on Thursday it will conduct a self-examination and correct its content after its app was removed from Android stores in China this week. “Xiaohongshu’s app has recently been removed from every major app store,” the firm said in a statement on Weibo, China’s Twitter-like social media platform. The announcement likely marks another instance of a clampdown in China on consumer tech companies in various sectors, from gaming to news. In June, the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC), which oversees the country’s cyber policy, said it had called for 26 audio-centric apps to be removed from app stores.
