@ikk157  thx for the feedback.  I'm beginning to wonder whether there is the possibility of replicating those apps in India.  I.e. can they make their own version of the same app in India for example with a few embellishments?  Like India IT is at the forefront of the world - surely they can easily create their own apps and app stores?  Like TikTok has millions of users.  Instead of taking it from China maybe they could create their own version?

That’s definitely a possibility... I know they have the capability of creating their own versions of the apps they’ve banned, which eliminates them having to use chinese apps (which is their goal).

The real challenge would be how well the citizens would accept those replicas. I’m sure many won’t be a big fan of the replicas and would prefer the real thing.

For example, TikTok has a huge user base, and hence i much bigger community and more content. Even if they develop their own app which behaves like TikTok, they’ll never be able to get the large community advantage that TikTok has. Hence people might not find a point using it in the first place.

And in all honesty, I doubt that people would be too bothered developing their own versions lf these apps. As described in my previous post, it’s extremely easy to bypass the ban... which leaves people with no good reason to develop their own version.
