China demands India to rescind a ban on mobile apps amid tensions over border standoff

A logo of a smartphone app TikTok is seen on a user post on a smartphone screen on September 28, 2020, in Tokyo.

"The relevant methods clearly violate market principles and WTO guidelines, and severely harm Chinese companies' legal rights and interests," said foreign ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian at a regular press briefing in Beijing, b“The Indian side should immediately correct this discriminatory practice so as to avoid causing greater damage to the cooperation between the two sides,” said the spokesman.

Tensions remain high between Beijing and New Delhi after a deadly June clash in a disputed area along their border high in the Himalayas that left 20 Indian soldiers dead and an unspecified number of Chinese casualties.New Delhi had previously pulled 59 Chinese apps - including the wildly popular video-sharing platform TikTok - from its huge domestic market, with another 118 Chinese mobile applications, including the hit shoot 'em up game PUBG, were banned in September.
