India on Wednesday banned another 118 mobile apps including Tencent Holdings's popular videogame PUBG, as it stepped up the pressure on Chinese technology companies following a standoff with Beijing at the border.
The list of 118 mostly Chinese apps also includes applications from Baidu and Xiaomi's ShareSave.
These "apps collect and share data in a surreptitious manner and compromise personal data and information of users that can have a severe threat to the security of the State," India's technology ministry said in a statement.
It added the apps threatened India's sovereignty and integrity. (Reuters)
