The India-China tensions have led to an increase in anti-China sentiment in the country, at present. An increasing number of people have now decided to boycott Chinese products including phones, gadgets, and even mobile apps. Some even downloaded an app called "Remove China App" to detect Chinese apps and uninstall them.

While a lot of people may have uninstalled the Chinese apps and moved on to other alternatives, it's worth pointing out that a ton of Chinese apps are still on the top charts in India when it comes to the number of downloads. 

That's right, a lot of Chinese apps are still on the top downloads list in India despite the boycott China movement. Here, check it out:
