36 Previously Banned Chinese Apps Quietly Return to India

In a surprising development, 36 previously banned Chinese apps have re-entered the Indian market, many under new names or ownership structures. Popular apps like Xender, Youku, Taobao, and Tantan are now available on app stores, while TikTok remains absent. Shein has returned through a partnership with Reliance Retail, ensuring local manufacturing to comply with Indian regulations. This comeback signals warming diplomatic ties between India and China, though concerns over data security persist. The apps span categories like shopping, gaming, and entertainment.
