(Pooja Dubey, Intern Journalist) After India, the US has also banned Chinese apps like Tik Tok and WeChat in the country, giving a blow to China. India had banned 224 Chinese apps this year, which was welcomed by both the US administration and lawmakers.
At the same time, US National Security Advisor (NSA) Robert O’Brien has defended President Donald Trump’s decision to ban Chinese apps. US National Security Advisor O’Brien said, China has been incredibly aggressive against its neighbors including India and therefore the data of Americans should be protected.
Since 20 September, the WeChat and TikTok mobile applications have been banned in the US through online mobile application stores. The US has banned these apps citing the sovereignty, integrity, and security of the country.
“This is an extraordinary situation,” O’Brien said, so the president has taken tough steps. We can do anything to protect the American people. Whether we have to follow our telecommunications, our data, or the defense method of former President Ronald Reagan. Which insists on rebuilding our army, with peace restraint.
He said, therefore, we have to do everything we need to make sure that whatever decision China takes, it does not affect our lives. They cannot bully the United States.
