A new version of MIUI in progress to solve the problem of banned applications

The Indian government has been tough on Chinese companies at the end of the day. Triggered by the border clash, the government first cracked down by banning some of China's top apps and then banning the import of fully manufactured LED TVs as well. If that wasn't enough, there were reports that the government tried to ban more than 275 applications, but ended up banning a handful. Chinese smartphone maker Xiaomi has reportedly been largely affected by these decisions outside of TikTok. Many apps from Xiaomi's stable have been banned, and as the company also sells LED TVs in India, it has taken a hit on this front.

Considering how the geopolitical situation has developed in the past two months, it has been difficult for Chinese companies to operate in India. Few organizations like Alibaba-backed UCWeb have closed their operations in India and laid off all their employees. Even Vivo has suspended its IPL title sponsorship deal with BCCI due to the social media backlash.
