Tencent's version of the news app copied design ideas in overall layout, photo viewing and commenting, NetEase said in a statement published on its website.
"NetEase strongly condemns hooliganism of Tencent and demands Tencent withdraw it from the App Store," the statement says.
Tencent has not commented on the accusation.
