China ‘suspends Tencent from updating existing apps’
It is not known how long the suspension will last and the Chinese ministry has not published any information about the ban.

China has suspended Tencent Holdings from updating its existing apps or launching any new apps as part of a “temporary administrative guidance” against the tech giant, Chinese media outlets including Shanghai-based Chinastarmarket.cn, reported.
According to the report, China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has told app stores and platforms to implement the order against Tencent apps from Wednesday in a harsh administrative punishment against the tech giant, which runs dozens of apps including the super app WeChat that has 1.2 billion users.
Tencent said in a statement that it is cooperating with the authorities on inspecting its apps, indirectly confirming the report.
