After the government banned 59 Chinese apps, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has decided to quit the Chinese microblogging website Sina Weibo, which he had joined a few years ago. On Wednesday, the Prime Minister's account went blank after his profile photo, posts, and comments were removed from the handle.
The Twitter-like account Weibo, the largest Chinese microblogging site, has a more complex procedure to quit for VIP accounts, which is why the official process was initiated. However, Weibo has yet to close PM Modi's account.
