WASHINGTON — China appears to have succeeded in eliminating software programs that enable its people to view an uncensored internet. Companies that let people avoid the government filters said Saturday that their programs have been removed from Apple’s app store in China. ExpressVPN, one of the companies, posted on its corporate site a message from Apple saying that its program was illegal in China. The British Virgin Islands-based software company says that all major virtual-private network apps were removed from the Apple app store in China. The Califronia-based tech giant said it had removed apps “in China that do not meet the new regulations.”Copyright 2017 The Associated Press.
