Government of India has taken a step to counter the border row with China by banning 59 Chinese mobile apps. The list includes TikTok, UC Browser, Cam Scanner, Shareit, Helo among many others. But the game PUBG has been exempted from the list. Game lovers are happy and relieved that their favourite game is not on the list of banned apps and the best way to express is through funny memes and jokes. Along with the #TikTokBaninIndia memes, PUBG has also started to trend online with funny meme reactions.
The decision of banning the Chinese apps comes after the heightened tensions between India and China and the border face-off at Ladakh. A lot of people were already calling for the ban on these apps, advocating the Vocal for Local initiative. WeChat, Mi Video Call - Xiaomi, Cam Scanner, NewsDog, UC News, Weibo, Xender are also on the list. And with PUBG not on the list, lovers of the game are relieved. Funny reactions have started to come in from those who regularly play PUBG and can continue to play it. TikTok Ban in India: ByteDance Losing Over Rs 3 Crore Daily, Hundreds of Jobs at Risk.
