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?

As a tradition, high ranking CCP officials and senior politicians vacation in Beidaihe district near Beijing during the end of July and early August every year. As a result, security in Beidaihe has been significantly upgraded recently. Petitioners said that there are about 30,000 military police stationed in the area and that petitioners from all over the country were repatriated, detained, or imprisoned before they could appeal.

Every year when the CCP high ranking officials attend meetings in Beidaihe district, petitioners from all over the country swarm into the district. As a result, local security is extremely strict. Since August, many petitioners indicated that Beidaihe has become a forbidden area again, and those who went there to appeal have been detained or imprisoned.

Gu Guo-Ping, a retired university teacher in Shanghai, became a petitioner when his house was forcibly demolished. He told NTD that human rights activists and petitioners are all on the black list of the Public Security Bureau. As soon as they use their ID’s to purchase train tickets, the police will know immediately and be able to stop them. “When we come back to Shanghai from Beidaihe, we are basically detained, tortured, or imprisoned for at least a month or two. This is the least. Now it is upgraded in Shanghai, a lot more strict now. As long as you come back from Beidaihe, you are tortured and detained. It is very evil and cruel,” he said.

Gu said that he made six trips to Beidaihe, four of which he was returned to Shanghai and imprisoned. Another two times he was detained in a criminal detention for 30 days. Last year when he was sent back to Shanghai, he was beaten by someone who was hired by the Shanghai police which resulted in four of his ribs being broken. He further revealed that every year when the meeting in Beidaihe is held, the authorities have to spend hundreds of millions of yuan (about 14 million USD), and the security scale is astonishing. The number of security officers involved is about 30,000 people, 10,000 from the Public Security Bureau, 10,000 from the People’s Armed Police Force, and 10,000 from the military. They are stationed in the tourist areas, the security level is very high.

Gu Guo-Ping slammed the CCP’s dictatorship as disasters are everywhere. These so-called public servants, who enjoy all kinds of privileges, each have a villa, and need 30,000 military and police officers for special protection. They treat petitioners as enemies. These petitioners are being brutally suppressed as if they were needed to be controlled to maintain stability.
