flag Taiwan bans Chinese app Xiaohongshu for a year over fraud and security concerns, citing data risks and unmet regulations.

flag Taiwan has banned Chinese social media app Xiaohongshu for one year over fraud concerns and cybersecurity risks, citing unmet regulatory requirements and data-sharing with China. flag Authorities say the app, used by about three million in Taiwan, failed security checks and enabled fraud totaling over NT$247 million. flag While the government emphasizes national security and user protection, critics call the move an overreach on free expression, especially since similar apps like TikTok remain accessible. flag China’s Taiwan Affairs Office condemned the ban as anti-democratic, accusing Taiwan of restricting information. flag The ban is temporary, with Xiaohongshu given a year to comply; otherwise, it could face a permanent block.
