Vague
This executive order is vaguely worded. What are transactions? WeChat is used to transfer money, by many providers to family in China. That is a monetary transaction. It is widely used by Asians to communicate in this country and to persons in China and other Asian countries. Communication is a “transaction” of data. Tencent also sends updates to Windows, the App Store and Google Play. Will these update transactions also stop?
The executive order discusses Tencent’s WeChat application. If it is to block the use of WeChat, it says nothing about Tencent’s other communication app, QQ. QQ is an older, less sophisticated app but it still can be used for communication.
This action with cripple the way Chinese provider’s lives in this country. If they can’t send money home and if they cannot communicate with loved ones, there will be less dire to stay in this country. That means less of a selection for mongers and probably higher prices.
Some mongers (including this one) use WeChat as the backbone of communications with providers, civilians And other mongers. Without WeChat, many AAMPS Would go out of biz, providers and customers would lose complete contact and there would be a huge downturn in business and service.
It’s true that WeChat communications goes through and is stored on Tencent servers in China. Tencent also monitors communications so they know what we write and say.Tencent also has a working relationship with the Chinese government but mongers don’t care. We just talk about poontang not military secrets.
