After China increased its supervision of mobile phone applications, Apple App Store also required applicants to have the official Chinese filing number to be launched in mainland China.This means that foreign applications including Facebook and X (formerly known as Twitter) may be removed from the Apple App Store on the mainland next year.

Scholars of interviewed scholars analyzed that while Huawei gradually chased Apple on hardware, the competition of Chinese and American technology giants will also shift from hardware to the development of the ecological environment.

According to the IT home, fast technology and other technology information websites, Apple has updated the mainland application store support documents around September 29. Among them, the applications listing on the mainland must have an effective Internet information service provider.case number.

In other words, the newly launched app must have a record number provided by Chinese officials in order to review it at the Apple App Store; if overseas applications do not apply for a filing number, it may not be able to continue the shelves in mainland China.

In the past two months, the China -US mobile phone giant has been pushed to the forefront of the scientific and technological warfare of the two countries. The competition between China and the United States in the field of mobile phone software has also appeared in heating up.

The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued a notice in July this year, requiring all applications to perform filing procedures to the competent telecommunications department before April next year, register real names, network resources and business information.From April to the end of June next year, the competent telecommunications department will carry out supervision and inspection of the application filing situation, and shall be dealt with in accordance with the law that has not yet performed the filing procedures.

After the normalization of the new regulations in July next year, Apple does not expect to continue to list unpaid applications in Chinese app stores.

Earlier, the Apple App Store in mainland China has long been loopholes for a long time.China has blocked foreign online social media platforms such as Instagram, X (formerly known as Twitter), Facebook, YouTube and WhatsApp.However, Chinese users can still log in to these websites through virtual special networks (VPN), and can also download and use these applications in the Apple App Store; new regulations will fill this vulnerability.

According to market insights company Sensor Tower estimates, in the past ten years, the number of downloads of the above five foreign applications in China has downloaded more than 170 million times.The white paper movement that appeared at the end of last year, related information and videos were spread on platforms such as X.

The Wall Street Journal reported in the past week that Apple personnel have met with Chinese officials in recent months and discussed the impact of the new regulations on its abroad in its mainland application stores.

Chinese official requires Apple to strictly strictly implement the regulations on unprepared foreign applications, and some people inside Apple worry about how the new regulations will be implemented and their impact on users.

Apple's application store platform in the mainland currently has more than 1.32 million applications; some analysts have pointed out that the requirements for overseas apps to record and meet data review are not realistic.Application store is removed.

Zhu Feida, an associate professor at the School of Computing and Information Systems of Singapore Management University, said in an interview with Lianhe Zaobao: "If those popular foreign applications cannot be used on the mainland, it has a great impact on the use experience of ordinary Apple users.Affected by greatly, Apple's stock price and the stock price of other American technology stocks will also cause a lot of shocks. "

The new mobile phone Mate 60 Pro released by Huawei at the end of August is regarded as a major technical breakthrough in Huawei. As a result, there is a view that the gap in the Sino -US chip field is narrowing.Zhu Feida analyzed that while Huawei gradually chased Apple on the hardware, the competition between the Chinese and American technology giants will also increase from the hardware to the development of the ecological environment.

As for whether the game between China and the United States in the field of mobile software will continue to heat up, Zhu Feida believes that he still has to observe the interaction between China and the United States at the end of the year."If this trend continues to intensify, the trend of China -US decoupling is very obvious." Sino -US folk personnel will be further hindered by the problem of convenient communication.
