Indian Creators Join China's Bilibili Amid Improving India-China Ties and YouTube Changes
Indian digital creators have begun posting content on China's video-sharing platform Bilibili, often using VPNs and location changes, despite the app not officially launching in India. Bilibili, initially focused on anime and gaming, has expanded internationally but does not currently list India among its markets. This trend coincides with improving India-China relations and upcoming stricter YouTube monetization rules. Experts suggest Bilibili's potential expansion into India may depend on further diplomatic developments.
