INDIA : CHINESE APPS BANNED

New Delhi : India bans 43 more Chinese apps in latest salvo : including some from e-commerce giant Alibaba, saying they threatened its ''sovereignty and integrity'' as tensions remain high between the  nuclear-armed neighbors following a deadly border clash.

New Delhi previously pulled 59 Chinese apps - including the wildly popular video-sharing platform TikTok from its huge domestic market, weeks after the  high-altitude battle in Ladakh region in June when 20 Indian soldiers were killed.

A further 188 Chinese mobile applications including the hit shoot 'em up game PUBC were banned in September.

The latest tranche of banned apps include Ali Baba's AliExpress, delivery service Lalmove as well as dating and live-streaming apps. [AFP]
