Recently, a popular topic discussed among overseas Asians is the ban on TikTok and WeChat’s parent companies, ByteDance and Tencent, by President Trump. Some people support banning WeChat, but others do not.

On August 6, President Trump signed an executive order prohibiting any American individual or entity from engaging in any transaction on WeChat or with Tencent Holdings Ltd. WeChat threatens national security. The order will go into effect 45 days after the date of the executive order. The executive order indicated that “WeChat automatically captures vast swaths of information from its users. This data collection threatens to allow the Chinese Communist Party access to Americans’ personal and proprietary information. WeChat, like TikTok, also reportedly censors content that the Chinese Communist Party deems politically sensitive and may also be used for disinformation campaigns that benefit the Chinese Communist Party.”

Dong Guang-Ping, a Chinese dissident from Henan province who is now living in the U.S., said: “There are many ways to communicate nowadays, for instance, Apple’s Facetime is free and convenient. Even if you need to communicate with people in China, you don’t have to contact them every day. If WeChat is really banned, then it will not affect basic living. It is not a necessity, you will get used to it after a few days.”

He further indicated that banning WeChat does impact overseas Asians but not to a destructive point. The action is also beneficial to the U.S. and Asians-Americans in the long run as it makes it harder for the CCP to infiltrate the U.S. “The CCP uses WeChat to recruit Asians-Americans to protest or organize activities in the U.S. WeChat is the tool it uses to spread propaganda.” he said.

On August 7, the spokesperson of the Foreign Ministry of China claimed that the U.S. suppressing Chinese companies is an act of bullying that will eventually backfire.

Jin Xiu-Hong, an Asian-American, indicated that the people inside mainland China are not even allowed to use apps or internet services provided by other countries. So why did the CCP become so furious at the idea of banning WeChat in the U.S. to the point that it incited many overseas pro-CCP media and pro-CCP Chinese to protest?
