00:00Taiwan's government has identified major security concerns in four popular Chinese apps and is urging citizens not to use them.
00:36The digital ministry raised these concerns about map, video and messaging apps.
00:42It said that while apps like Google Maps also track user data, its counterpart Gaode Map is much more intrusive
00:48and sends data to servers in China.
00:50Officials also said these apps accessed much more private data than necessary and could pose risks for individuals, companies and
00:57the government.
00:58The ministry says these apps won't be banned for the public, though they are prohibited on government devices.
01:04They'll continue to test other high-risk apps.
