Join ‘clean network’: US urges countries after India bans 118 Chinese apps

Openly supporting India’s move to ban 118 mobile apps, the United States on Wednesday called on all freedom-loving countries and companies to join “the clean network.”

“India has already banned 100 plus Chinese apps. We call on all freedom-loving nations and companies to join The Clean Network,” said US State Department quoting Keith Krach, US Under Secretary of State for Economic Growth, Energy and the Environment.

Krach’s remark comes after Indian government blocked 118 more mobile apps in view of the information available that they are engaged in activities which are prejudicial to sovereignty and integrity, defence and security of India and public order.
