NEW DELHI/HONG KONG - An Indian ban on dozens of Chinese apps following a border clash between the two nations has possibly derailed a US$1 billion India expansion plan of China's ByteDance, while also sparking an uproar from users of its popular TikTok video app.
"If this is not rolled back, these companies would be constrained to cut back their operations in India, potentially resulting in a loss of employment," said a lawyer who advises a Chinese company whose app has been banned in India. TikTok said in a statement the Indian government had invited the company to respond to the ban and submit clarifications, adding that it complies with all data security and privacy requirements.'HOW WILL I LIVE NOW' Following the ban order, many TikTok users posted videos expressing their displeasure with the ban.
Several Indian lawyers said chances of a success through a legal challenge this time were slim given the government had invoked national security concerns, meaning the Chinese companies can only hope to lobby India to reverse the decision.
