Apple has removed several message applications like Whatsapp and Thrads from AppStore in China after the Chinese government ordered them to leave.
The move reportedly further escalates tensions between the US and China over technology and other policies.

If the law reaches the American president's table, Joe Biden, he has indicated he will sign it.
“We are obliged to follow laws in the countries where we operate, even when we disagree”, Apple said in a statement.
By contrast, other platforms such as Signal and Telegram have been removed from AppStore in China.
These tense American-Chinese relationships have led the technological giant to expand operations in countries like India and Vietnam.
