Alibaba China introduced its hardware product - Tmall Box in 2014. The Tmall box can be compared to the AppleTV except made for China’s media network. Instead of having Youtube, Netflix, Hulu and many others, Tmall box comes with Youku, Tudou, Sohu, Xunlei, and many other Chinese networks.

But from 11th Nov 2015, Chinese users found out that Alibaba's Tmall Box Automatically Remove 3rd Party APPs without the permission of users.

Alibaba said the uninstallment is to follow the 229 code which issued secretly by the Supreme People's court, the Supreme People's Procuratorate, the Ministry of public security and the Ministry of Justice.

Alibaba initiate the uninstall by updating its YunOS-powered Tmall Box secretly, after that, the Tmall box  will automatically uninstall 3rd party APPs.

0.2Million Tmall boxs were sold on 11.11.2015 - the Chinese shopping festival, after users found Alibaba's Tmall Box automatically uninstall 3rd party APPs, more and more Chinese users cancel the orders. So it's hard to say the final sales of Tmall box.

On the other hand, more and more Chinese worry about Alibaba's YunOS, not to mention, Chinese government developed TVOS. Let's see the main complain on Chinese internet on this issue.

• YunOS can uninstall the APP without user permission, that means YunOS can collect users private information and share without permission.
• The government said Microsoft Windows 10 will release important information to oversea, but it force all Chinese TV box makers to uninstall the APP they don't want, which one is the biggest security problem now.
• If the government forced us to see what it want us to see, sorry, I will stop using these shit box.
• I spent money on this shit, now I can not control what I want install in this shit?
• This shit only happens in China.
