Google has removed a popular Indian-developed app from its Play Store that promised to find and remove Chinese apps from smartphones. The search giant confirmed to Gadgets 360 that the app, which was called “Remove Chinese Apps,” was removed for violating its Deceptive Behavior Policy, which prohibits software from encouraging or misleading users into “removing or disabling third-party apps.”
Remove Chinese Apps had grown popular in India. Reuters reports that it had amassed over five million downloads since late May, and was the top trending free app in the country. The app worked by scanning phones for Chinese apps like ByteDance’s TikTok and Alibaba’s UC Browser, before giving the option to keep or remove. If no Chinese-made apps were found on a phone, a pop-up message read “You are awesome, no China app found.”

Stop thinking that.
Google carrying the water for their chinese masters.
BUT, it doesn't do what the article says it does.
Its just a store for ....."gadgets"......
Am I missing something?
Google is eagerly working for the Chinese fascist government and is cooperating with the Chinese government as it extends its control over the people, and it is hoping that a democrat is elected in the USA so that it (Google) will be able to develop control/monitoring/surveillance apps for the democrat regime.
Google, the company they own, YouTube, and the parent company, Alphabet, work hand in hand in developing AI applications for the ChiCom military.
I find it interesting that the NY Times, CNN, and other “news” companies no longer hid the fact that they traffic in Chinese Communist Party propaganda, in attacking the USA, while actively hiding the misdeeds, and outright murders committed by the Chinese government. Of course, the NY Slimes has the longest, most “distinguished” history of covering up communist atrocities with Walter Duranty’s lies hiding and excusing Stalin’s forced starvation of the Ukraine in the 1930s.
I guess that Google has chosen a side... Remember the statement that “the capitalists will sell us the rope with which we hang them with.” This is Google and the mass media, as well as every company siding with the ChiComs against the USA. NBA, for example...

Modify the app to just report all Chinese apps; let the user then delete them.
