Why this country has asked Google and Apple to block China’s Temu

Google and Apple have been requested by Indonesia to block the Chinese fast-fashion app Temu from their app stores. The country’s minister said that this move will protect its small and medium-sized businesses. According to a report by the news agency Reuters, Indonesia’s Communications Minister Budi Arie Setiadi stated that the move is intended to prevent Indonesian consumers from downloading the app and gaining access to the extremely low-priced goods offered by PDD Holdings-owned Temu.
