Tik Tok Back in India: Hindi-Chinese brothers again? Tik Tok website went live but the app is still missing, what is the matter?
Tik Tok Back in India:
It seems that the era of Hindi-Chinese brotherhood is about to return. The atmosphere is pointing towards this. The Chinese apps that were deported five years ago are making a comeback and the most important in this sequence is the opening of the websites of "Tik Tok" and "Ali Express".
In fact, many users on social media have said that they are able to access their website for the first time in five years. However, the app is still not available.
By the way, at least the Dak Media website said that government officials have confirmed that there has been no change in the stance of allowing these platforms. The Department of Telecommunications has also confirmed that the website is blocked on all Indian Internet Service Providers. TikTok's parent company Bytedance has also not issued any official statement about re-launching it.
Ban was imposed in 2020.
The Indian government banned 59 Chinese apps including Tik Tok in India in 2020. Concerns about data privacy and national security were cited behind this. The ban was imposed soon after violent clashes between Indian and Chinese soldiers in the Galwan Valley of Ladakh.
What is the possibility now?
It is possible that the app may be available for only a few devices or it is possible that they are being tested. By the way, the app is still not available on Google Play Store and Apple App Store. Whatever the reason, the sudden reappearance of the TikTok domain has increased the enthusiasm among the users.
The way India-China relations are thawing, the possibilities of the return of many things including TikTok have increased. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi came to India two days ago and met PM Modi. Wang has given President Xi Jinping's message and invitation for the upcoming SCO summit to be held in Tianjin.
India and China announced several measures for mutual relations, including jointly maintaining peace on the border, reopening border trade, promoting investment and resuming direct flight connectivity as soon as possible.
Some users claimed to access TikTok.
According to media reports, some users have claimed to be able to access TikTok's website, although they also said that they were unable to log in, upload or watch videos. Let us tell you that the Tit-Tok app is not available on the App Store in India. However, it is not clear how some internet users are able to access it.
Congress also reacted.
After TikTok users claimed to be able to access the service, Congress also reacted to it. On the social media platform X, Congress wrote, "The website of the Chinese company 'TikTok' has started working in India. 20 of our brave soldiers were martyred in the clash with China. At first Narendra Modi (Prime Minister) gave a clean chit to China, but... when Congress put pressure, he banned 'TikTok' to manage the headlines.
Now Modi is again hugging China, he has met the Chinese Foreign Minister and is about to go to China himself... and in the meantime this news related to Tik Tok has come. It is clear - Narendra Modi's love for China has prevailed over his love for the country. Like the ceasefire with Pakistan, a deal of martyrdom has been made with China as well."
June 2020, the Indian government banned 59 mobile apps.
Let us tell you that there was a violent clash between the Indian Army and the Chinese Army in the Galwan Valley of eastern Ladakh on the intervening night of 15-16 June 2020. After this incident, relations between China and India soured. After this, the Indian government took a big step and banned 59 mobile apps.
Most of these 59 mobile applications were Chinese apps, including popular apps like TikTok, UC Browser and WeChat. The government had described these Chinese apps as a threat to India's sovereignty and integrity, security, and public order. The government had said that all these apps were leaking the data of Indian citizens.
Only TikTok's website is open.
Let us tell you that TikTok's website is opening again for some users in India. However, many users reported on 'X' that the website is still down for them and some subpages are not working. It is being speculated that TikTok's return may happen "in a phased manner".
Will TikTok be launched again?
There is no official confirmation from ByteDance yet. Let us tell you that TikTok's parent company ByteDance launched this app in 2017, and it was banned in India in 2020. If the app returns, it will be big news for more than 20 crore old users of India.
The Indian government called the speculations fake.
On the other hand, government sources have clearly stated that the Indian government has not lifted the ban on TikTok nor has it issued any such order. The news of unblocking is fake. Along with this, TikTok's parent company Bytedance has also not yet given any official statement regarding its return to India.
