This is a right move, in my view.

Chinese infiltration takes a myriad of forms and data collection is one of the biggest.

And those apps form a basis for click-of-the-button hacking.

And ordinary users will find it very very difficult to determine if an app is Chinese made or not.

And the Chinese govt. will have it's fingers in everyone of them, one way or the other.

What I do worry now is that since China has been exposed, it will resort to even elaborate deceptive methods to hide itself and it's infiltration.

China is not to be trusted.

    Same as the US i suppose.

      They are not even in the same universe when it comes to comparing trustworthiness .

      It’s NK & China and then there is everyone else.

        Maybe, but i would not trust anyone of them.

        Hint? Iraq has Chemical weapons, and the UAE is our friend, oh and the best one trump says he is high IQ, bidden is low IQ ;)

      Motives of US are different, largely self-serving and still have embers of morality and ethics.

      Chinese have no such niceties.

        like China..or do you think the do it for the greater good?

        >morality and ethics

        Yes please tell that every single country the US attack d since the second world-war, oh and maybe your own countryman...hint NSA.

          China is beyond self-serving. It's mindset is confrontational, it's history is replete with instances of occupation of other peoples lands (Mongolia, Tibet, etc.).

          It is politically very unstable, so it has to periodically create crises, to whip up nationalism and keep it's population in control.

          • nix23 5 years ago

            Damn your right, the US is very stable. And the US made 10 times more regions unstable than China could ever do.

            If you exchange China to US, and Mongolia/Tibet to Middle East and South America your sentence matches perfectly too.

India just pulled a China (e.g. China banning FB, Google, etc.)
