Unfortunately, some of the crappiest comments on the impact of the #chineseapp ban are from some very experienced analysts & commentators in India.
Come on, folks!
Pause, think, reflect before you vomit all that ignorance out of your guts!
China BANS every app from overseas!

The Chinese economy has been BUILT on denying market access. Ask FB, ask Twitter, ask Google, ask so many others!
China's BAT economy (Baidu, Alibaba, Tencent) copied successful US & Western co biz models. What wasn't copied, was pilfered.
China blocks access to its mkt& users.

Have you heard about the Great Wall of China? No, I am not talking about that construction marvel. It is the Digital Great Wall. Google it.
India has been one of the MOST OPEN economies.
But, what do you do when data is stolen? What about privacy-is it only required for Aadhaar?

Why is it that a country with a tech leader like ISRO imports lowly WiFi Routers?
No biz sense hurt with cheap, inferior, environmentally hazardous imports?
Forgot Chinese Manjha?
Reams of print space, TV time devoted to that killer!
Yet it is smuggled!
No outrage on that?
Why?

How do you expect to grow as an economy, create jobs and build robust, scalable digital infrastructure if there is NO security?
Are you happy surrendering your digital sovereignty & be digitally colonized by an adversary who stabs your nation in the back, bit by bit by sly bit?

Bharat existed before the age of civilization dawned on the West.

India came out of the blood & tears of millions who freed our nation from the East India Company.

This time around, the new East India Company hails from the Southeast.

China is the new global imperialist.
