With an increase in the number of cases of coronavirus on a daily basis and the wait for a perfect vaccine still a dream countries have started to ease down the lockdown situation. The economy has been the worst affected by this pandemic as everything came to a standstill. China has been one of the biggest exporter of products in the world before this global situation. Chinese phones have acquired a life of around 66% of Indians and removing Chinese applications and using Indian based applications is the most we can do to teach them a lesson and also helping India to become Atmanirbhar (Self-dependent).
Application to Uninstall Chinese Application
There are so many Chinese applications that it is very difficult to find each and every application founder or parent country. An application named Remove China Apps developed by OneTouch AppLabs is making things easier for the people. Having a rating of 4.9 on Google Play store and having around 5 million plus downloads. It can be termed as a great development at this time. It is a Jaipur based company which has helped to boost up the anti-China movement in our country.
This app particularly detects the apps which have been developed in China which have been installed by the users in their phones, it sorts them out and gives an option to uninstall them. The apps which are pre-installed in some of the Chinese phones can't be removed using this application though. This app acquires just around 3.5 Mb of storage and interestingly helps in removing more amount of space from your mobile phones. The app developer calls the application is used for the educational purpose only.
The application company has said that it detects the origin country on the basis of market research and cannot guarantee any false information provided by them so it does warns the people to install at their own risk.

Even actors like Arshad Warsi and Milind Soman supported this cause and came forward and have asked people to join this movement
YouTube Vs TikTok
The latest TikTok vs YouTube conflict going on the internet for a while has also helped a bit in this movement. People started to uninstall TikTok and rated it very badly which made TikTok to fall down to a rating of 1.2 and was a huge setback for China. Although Play store removed all the negative reviews and restored the previous ratings.
Indo-China Border Tensions
The latest tension at the Ladakh border has also created an environment that is making Indians boycott the Chinese apps.

China is becoming a big threat to many of the countries at a time like this. As Sonam Wangchuk quoted "Sena degi bullet se jawaab, Hum dengey wallet se" (Let the soldiers answer them with the bullet and we as a citizen answer them with the help of our wallet)" it has started to become a nationwide movement slowly.

It will also help the Indian market a boost and helping up to create a new and improved Indian market. It will help to motivate the Indian entrepreneurs to expand their horizons and develop more applications that can be used around the world and create a global impact.
