@pabsgill This is the third time that the Indian government has issued a list that targets mobile apps made by Chinese companies.

#PUBG #chineseappbanned

@pabsgill The first list came out on June 29 after the #GalwanValley skirmish, which left 20 Indian soldiers dead and an undisclosed number of casualties on the Chinese side. This included the the popular short video streaming app #TikTok, UC Browser, Xiaomi's Mi Community and 56 others.

@pabsgill #PUBG | Another list of 47 Chinese apps was issued in July to ban programs that were trying to clone the apps banned in the first iteration.

@pabsgill Many were left wondering why Tencent's hugely popular multiplayer battle area game, #PUBG, was allowed to remain on the docket.

@pabsgill Now, after the #PangongTsoLake valley incursion, India's third ban on Chinese apps will not only remove #PUBG from India also another 117 apps including Baidu, Alipay, WeChat Work and Area of Valor.
