China's response to the Indian ban on apps including TikTok

This is China's response to the Indian ban on apps including TikTok

Agency. Amid the ongoing border dispute, Chart on Monday banned 59 Chinese apps. Including the popular social app Ticktock and WeChat. Alibaba Group's UC Browser has also banned Baidu Maps.

These apps can be used on both mobile and computer. The Indian government has described the ban on the app as an emergency measure and a step towards national security. Indian and Chinese troops are facing each other in the border area of ​​Kazakh.

Twenty Indian soldiers were killed in a tense clash between the two countries on July 1. Indian Information and Broadcasting Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad tweeted that the ban was necessary for security, sovereignty, and India's integrity. He further tweeted, "We want to protect the data and privacy of Indian citizens."

India's Ministry of Information and Broadcasting said in a statement: "We have received complaints about these apps from various sources. These apps were violating the privacy of the user on iOS and Android. This ban will protect mobile and internet users in India. It was important for India's security, integrity, and security. "

The Indian government did not name the Chinese government or the Chinese company in its statement and did not specify how the ban would be enforced. TikTok has commented on India's sanctions.

A spokesman for TikTok said, "The Indian government has issued an interim order banning 59 apps. Two thousand employees of Bait dance are working in India as per the rules of the government. We are proud to have millions of users in India. '

"We are in the process of complying with the order of the Government of India," TikTok said in a statement. We are also trying to present our response to the government.

The government of India is ready to follow the necessary rules for the security of the data of the ticket users. We do not share Indian user data with any foreign government. We don't even give it to the Chinese government. We take user integrity seriously. 

Nikhil Gandhi, head of TikTok India, said, "TikTok has democratized the internet. It is currently available in 14 Indian languages. There are millions of users in India.

It's a treat for people whose talents go unnoticed. Some users know the use of the Internet from the ticket. We also donated 300 million Indian rupees to the Prime Minister's Fund for the coronavirus epidemic. '

The Chinese Communist Party's English-language newspaper, the Global Times, wrote on the subject of the Indian government's decision, "This step comes at a time when tensions are rising between the two countries."

The Indian military has carried out illegal activities across the border in China and has launched provocative attacks on Chinese security forces. As a result, a deadly clash took place in Galway, a border area between India and China.

The Global Times also wrote, "Extreme nationalism has been seen in India since then. A boycott of Chinese products has been demanded.

Such pictures are being widely shared on social media, in which Indian citizens are blowing up televisions made in China. The 59 banned apps include Twitter-like Chinese-made platform Weibo, which has a verified account for the Indian prime minister, and 240,000 followers.

According to a press release from the Government of India, the Department of Home Affairs and the Indian Cyber ​​Crime Coordination Center had recommended a ban on the malicious app.

Some Indian companies are calling it a welcome step by the Indian government. Inmost, the owner of app Propose, which is competing with TikTok, said the move has opened up the market for its platform.

Similarly, the Indian social network Snapchat has also welcomed the government's move. TikTok's rival Bold India has said it will benefit from a ban on its biggest rival.

In a statement, Arun SABENA, co-founder and CEO of the company, said: "We welcome the ban because we understand the concerns of the government. It is also an opportunity for Bold India and other Indian apps to provide better service by putting Indian culture and data security first. "

That's why Cisco says the ban will affect Chinese apps. "From a strategic point of view, this will increase the economic pressure," Santosh Pan, an associate of Link Legal, which looks after Chinese investment in India, told the Economic Times.

Because these apps were very dependent on the Indian market. This is a strong step from a legal point of view. Because it becomes difficult to challenge the national security question in court.

He also said that it would be interesting to see if the Indian app could meet the needs of those apps or if the US app captured the market share. Similarly, Indian app investors understand that banning Chinese apps will reduce the app's competition in the Indian market.

But some analysts have warned that the ban on Chinese apps could be too heavy for India.

Analysts warn India to reverse the ban on Chinese app

Agency. Analysts have warned that the Indian government's move to ban 59 apps developed by Chinese companies would be counterproductive. Analysts believe that India's move will hurt Indian technology and startups that depend on Chinese investment.

On Monday evening, the Indian government banned 59 Chinese apps, including Tiktak and WeChat, citing data security reasons. The Indian government had issued a statement saying that Chinese companies were threatening the national security and defense of the country by collecting, mining, and profiling data of Indian users.

This is the latest response from India amid border disputes between the two countries. In an interview with Global Times on Tuesday, Sah Janu, executive partner of the UK law firm's Indian Investment Services Center, described the Indian government's behavior as "childish and emotional".

He further said, "This indicates that it would not be good to invest more Chinese in India now." The presence of Chinese investors in the Indian high-tech startup ecosystem has benefited India in recent years.

India has benefited not only from Chinese investment but also from China's state-of-the-art technology and sufficient experience to grow its business.

It is very difficult for India to remove Chinese influence from its market. This is because Chinese technology companies have made huge strides in India's emerging technology landscape.

By the end of 2019, Chinese tech giants Alibaba and Tencent had invested in more than half of India's 31 unicorn companies, or more than 1 billion, according to Iron Pillar Fund.

Paytm, a payment platform invested by Chinese companies, and Ola, a ride-hailing company from the delivery platform Jomato, also have Chinese capital.

Analysts warn that targeting Chinese apps could lead to a major setback for the Indian startup ecosystem.

According to censor tower, a mobile app market research company, India is the largest overseas market for attendance tickets. The app had reached 600 million downloads in India by April 29. That's 30 percent of the world's total downloads.

But Tiktak said he had been summoned by Indian government officials for clarification. But since Tuesday, tickets have stopped appearing in the Google Play Store and iOS App Store in India.

 According to the Chinese Ministry of Finance, China's non-financial investment in India has increased 9.7 times between 2018 and 2020, while investment in technology alone has exceeded 8 billion (about Rs 1 trillion).

As a side effect of the border dispute, India has banned 59 Chinese apps, including tickets

 India has banned 58 other popular apps in India, including Tiktak, amid a border dispute. India made the decision in a statement issued on Monday evening.

Along with this decision, games like WeChat, UC Browser, Class of King will also be banned. India's Ministry of Information Technology has announced a ban on these apps, saying they would affect India's sovereignty and unity. India has accused some apps for collecting confidential user data.

City to give Liverpool a 'Guard of Honor'

When Liverpool won the league in 1990 ...

LONDON - Kenny Douglas's Liverpool almost easily won the league in 1990. From 1973 until that moment, Liverpool dominated English football and each season was in the top two of the league, with one exception.

Liverpool won the league a year after the Hillsboro accident. Liverpool lost 96 supporters in the crash, after a stampede in the gallery. In British politics, it was the last year of Thatcher's long tenure as prime minister. There were strong protests against the ruling Conservative Party's tax policy. That was the reason for the looting in London, and that is why Thatcher finally accepted her downfall by November.

Britain was still not immune to the challenge of the Irish Republican Army. And the country itself was heading for an economic recession. The '80s were a bad time for Liverpool. Looting was rampant and the number of unemployed was skyrocketing. The northern part of the city is most affected, says Joe Moran, a professor in the history department at Liverpool's John Moores University. According to Thatcher's policy, the country was moving from the production of traditional goods to the service industry.

Liverpool's port of call was declining dramatically. "1990 was not the worst year for Liverpool, especially the year in which the city was heading for independence," Moran said. Just before that there was an accident in Hillsboro. The city itself was changing, the recession was coming to an end as European investment was flowing in. Liverpool's victory in the league was a medicine for the city at that time because the city was sick at the time. '

Football itself was not what it is three decades ago. There was no time for TV broadcasting to sign a fat contract. Brian Robson was the most expensive player. He moved from West Brom to Manchester United for 1.9 million, a record transfer from one English club to another. The 1990 World Cup was also held in Italy. Moran believes it has made a huge difference in world football.

"From that time on, football was moving towards modern capitalism," he says. In a few years, the Premier League began, and with it, the game of money. Sir Alex Ferguson took full advantage of that and made Manchester United stronger. England's top seven clubs have won since 1990, with Manchester United being the most successful. And Blackburn and Lester are on the list.

Joe Blot is the chairman of the Prit of Sanki Sports Group. He believes that the title Liverpool won in 1990 is now limited to memories for many. He says, ‘Even if one remembers those days, the supporters must be at least 40 years old. Now even a generation of supporters has passed away. All these generations were waiting for Liverpool to win the league. 'Blot himself was 59 years old.

He also believes that football has undergone a lot of changes during this time, the English league is no longer just for England. The big clubs along with Liverpool all have foreign investment. Supporters of all generations of Liverpool agree on one fact, like Blot. "We now have Jर्गrgen Klopp as a world-class manager," he said. He has made Liverpool strong, like a team from the Nineties. '

The dominance of Liverpool began

Liverpool's formal English Premier League title was finally completed. It was too late, Liverpool could not win the league. Many also accused Liverpool of not being able to win the league in England. This is the only rich club in history. While Liverpool is certain to win the league, all those allegations have been proven false. Liverpool supporters claim, now begins again, Liverpool's dominance in English football.

Liverpool - Jurgen Klopp could not hide his feelings, his throat was blocked. Liverpool is set to become English champions for the 19th time on Thursday night. Klopp could not hide his tears.

He and his players had gathered near the manager's house to watch the game between Chelsea and Manchester City. Chelsea beat City in that game, Liverpool's long wait is over, to win the league title. On top of that, there was the fear of not taking it this time.

But once the league was assured of victory, the joy and excitement of the Liverpool supporters at Merseyside could not be overstated. Police were constantly making requests, but could not stop the club supporters from coming to the streets and gathering. Many gathered around Anfield. Fireworks also went off. He was busy singing many songs. The song was the same, "You'll Never Walk Alone." The whistle blew at Stanford Bridge, and the tide of joy was flowing in Liverpool.

"I'm in a position to say no," Klopp said later. "Who is as proud as I am now?" Ever since I came to this club, my journey has been unprecedented. Even today, all the players celebrated. We were all sitting together watching football. For the next few years, these players have been able to play just as well. I did not even dream of all these achievements. But now the opportunity is huge, it can't be described in words. '

He did not forget to warn his rival team, claiming that Liverpool will play better next season. He said that there is still a lot of room for improvement in the team and the team itself can play a stronger game. Captain Jordan Henderson was equally emotional. He said, "I didn't want to say anything even before the game. But now I can speak. I am very happy and would like to take this opportunity to congratulate everyone, the players, the city, and the supporters all over the world. '

Liverpool behind the record

It took Liverpool 30 years and 58 days to win the league once again, and a three-month lockdown imposed due to the coronavirus epidemic. But when they won, it was Liverpool's first English Premier League. It was also the club's 19th overall league title. Liverpool was just two points away from the league title after an impressive win over Crystal Palace on Wednesday. The game at Stanford Bridge only completed the formality of winning the league title.

With seven games remaining in the league, Liverpool are 23 points ahead of Manchester City. Coincidentally, Thursday's game is between these two teams, in Etihad. The city is expected to provide Liverpool with a "guard of honor". So it is not even mandatory. Both clubs must agree to this. While the game was going on at Chelsea's house, manager Jurgen Klopp was sitting at Farkby Hall Golf Club watching.

He also had other Liverpool players. Liverpool last won the league title on April 28, 1990. That's when Madonna's song "Bhog" topped the UK singles charts. Even now, Liverpool itself is going through the same number one position. In the last 13 extraordinary months, Liverpool has won not only the Premier League but also the European Champions League, the Club World Cup, and the UAE Super Cup.

Now Liverpool will be able to set many new records in English domestic football and many of them are in the name of the City. The first record was set by Liverpool, who won the league with seven games remaining. Earlier, City and Manchester United had won the league with five games left. Liverpool will be able to collect a maximum of 107 points at the end of the league and in this process, City will surpass the 100 points achieved in 2017-2018.

Liverpool can also set the record for most wins in a single season. This record is also in the name of City winning 32 games in six leagues. The city had a 19-point lead at the top when they won the league in 2017-2018. Liverpool will try to surpass this too. Captain Henderson will have to wait until the end of July to lift the league title and will have to wait for safe time and circumstances if Liverpool is to make the winning run.

'Long-awaited decisive factor'

Pep Guardiola believes Liverpool's 30-year wait is crucial to winning the league title this time around. J योrgen Klopp's Liverpool is certain to win the title, and City's league winners are no more. The city lost 2–1 to Chelsea at Stanford Bridge, their eighth defeat in the league. Guardiola congratulated Liverpool and acknowledged that his team's performance had not been consistent throughout the season.

"Liverpool has played very well this season," he said. We could not perform like him. Liverpool became very confident after winning the European Champions League. It's been 30 years since Liverpool won the league, so it's been a turning point for him to win the title. Liverpool played every game that way. Like, that was their last game. We are the beginning of the league We didn't do well in the room and paid the price. "

Guardiola added: "Let's not forget that we have won two titles in the meantime. This is also a great achievement for us. The last 7-8 years have been great for City. So we have to say, one club doesn't always win. Our job is to learn from what happened this time. Today's game is not the only decision on the title. In fact, Liverpool had already won the league long ago. He deserves full credit. '

The big player is Klopp himself

On October 8, 2015, Jrgen Klopp entered Anfield for the first time. In front of all the media in the world, this miraculous manager had said, "If we are skeptical, we should become believers." Five years later, there was no one to doubt Klopp and his players. By the time he took over Liverpool, the club was in tenth place on the table. Whatever it is, Liverpool has won the European Championship for the sixth time.

Now also the English Premier League champions. Needless to say, if anyone has the biggest hand in this reproduction of Liverpool, it is Klopp. His personality is great in itself, he is a great strategist. His laughter is also strong. The way he celebrates goals in the technical area may not be digestible by others. Recently, when he came to England, the critics of Liverpool had said about him, these are fewer coaches, more shouting.

But there was no room to question the tremendous ability of the coach in the club. He is well versed in modern football and can study the game. He likes to call his style of playing football 'heavy metal'. He is a connoisseur of English football. On a rainy day, the ground is wet. It is also difficult to recognize the player's face. Mud all over the body. After the game, it is difficult for the player to walk. Klopp is a supporter of such football.

City to give Liverpool a 'Guard of Honor'

LONDON - Pep Guardiola has announced that his team will give a 'guard of honor' to the new league winner during next week's game between Manchester City and Liverpool.

Liverpool won the English Premier League two days before City lost to Chelsea.

Liverpool has won the league for the first time in 30 years. The top two teams in the table are playing at Etihad on Thursday. Guardiola also said that Liverpool deserved the traditional 'Guard of Honor'.

"There is no doubt that Liverpool will be given a guard of honor in this game," he said. Liverpool is fully entitled to it. We will have no hesitation in this. '
