Apps are not websites. They are merely conduits through which data can be accessed. India has barred access to some apps because of data security reasons. What can be accessed on UC browser can also be accessed on Edge or Chrome. Now why does China block access to the world's most popular...

Not by numbers. By actual traffic. Why doesn't China give unfettered access to Social Media apps?

Lol. It's not the Internet if it's behind a firewall. It's an intranet.

Yes and it was widely condemned for that move. Govt. of India has 0 right to do so. Do you also condemn the Chinese move to block the Internet?
