Apple has removed illegal gambling apps from its platform in China. Gambling apps have come under heavy criticism from state media. Chinese state broadcaster CCTV reported last month that "a large number" of apps on the Apple platform had exposed users to "fake lotteries" and gambling. Apple declined to comment Monday on the number of apps it had removed. "Gambling apps are illegal and not allowed on the App Store in China," the company said in a statement.
