Not just China, even the app TikTok from the nation, is involved in multiple controversies at the moment, over videos promoting violence againt women and animals.
Amid both being at the centre of the storm, Saloni Gaur took a hilarious dig at China and its app TikTok. The comedian also known as 'Nazma Aapi' for one of the characters she portrays, shared that her recent video that had jokes on China, was removed by TikTok.

So @TikTok_IN has removed my last video which had jokes on China, jaisa desh, vaisi app. Kuch bolne ki freedom hi nahi hai.
