India and China both have the largest smartphone markets in the world. Banning an app from either country would take a chunk out of any companies profits. And targeting specifically Chinese apps is a smart move on Indias part. Works sort of like economical warfare, and also retaliation for the current border conflict.

Since all companies within China are required to allow the CCP access to all info within a company, including the data collected on the user, the CCP could easily gather limitless amounts of data on the users of an app. Hell, in the United States we can't even get TikTok banned... And that's one of the worst violators.

I really encourage behavior like this. You can never trust the Chinese Communist Party.
