The Chinese government has been characterized in recent years by testing Apple's principles, principles that has kept in the drawer to meet all the demands of this government without question. As Groucho Marx would say “These are my principles, if you don't like them, I have others”.
Many are the applications / services (Google, Facebook, Twitter ...) that are not available in China due to Chinese government ban. Trump had been the only one who so far had wanted to stand up to the government of the country. And I say the only one because India has just given the same medicine to China to try.
The government of India has ordered remove from apple app store and google 59 apps and that in addition, these stop working so that they cannot continue to be used by the citizens of the country.
One of the most used deleted apps in India is TikTok, with more than 200 million users in the country and 1.000 worldwide. UC Browser, Xiaomi Mi Video Call, Weibo… are some of the most popular applications from China that have been banned in India.

India has banned these apps because it considers them harmful to both the country and the population in general since they put the sovereignty and security of the country at risk. More or less the same absurd excuse that China often makes for requesting the removal of applications or services in the Apple application store.
This is the first step that India has taken. The second could be ban the sales of Chinese terminals in the country arguing the same reasons (as Trump did with Huawei in the United States). This would be a huge blow to Xiaomi, Oppo and OnePlus, the three Asian companies that are dominating the market together with Samsung.
