Trump’s Ban On WeChat Will Backfire On Apple – Chinese Users To Throw Away iPhones Without WeChat
A smartphone, no matter its brand, is as good as the apps in it. Without apps, the gadget is useless. Hence, when President Donald Trump signed an executive order last Thursday to ban yet another Chinese app – WeChat – in the U.S., all hell broke loose. Trump, desperate to win the November re-election, decided to throw everything, including the kitchen sink, at China.
After trade war, Trump administration has a new “World Order” specifically designed to attack and destroy a rising technology powerhouse China. An order named “Clean Network”, the goal is to decouple the Internet from the Chinese’s increasing influence. Donald Trump’s strategy is quite simple – if you can’t beat them, ban them (or force them to sell to you).
In the first quarter of 2020, Tencent’s WeChat had over 1.2 billion monthly active users. First released in 2011, the app started as a mobile messaging app and was developed by Tencent. In its home market, the app is still called Weixin but was rebranded as WeChat in 2012 to serve international markets. Today, WeChat is ranked fifth in the number of active users.
Like Huawei, Trump signed a pair of executive orders targeting TikTok and WeChat. Beginning August 6, American companies have 45 days to stop doing business with both Chinese apps. That means the apps will not be available to be downloaded on Apple’s App Store or Google’s Play store. And like TikTok, WeChat’s owner, TenCent, has been ordered to sell the app by mid-September or face a ban on U.S. operations.
Trump unilaterally declared WeChat a threat to U.S. national security and accused the app, without providing any proof, of gathering user data and therefore, threatening Americans’ personal and proprietary information. While the blacklist of TikTok affects most American teenagers (Gen-Z), the ban on WeChat will affect the business community, especially Apple.
Perhaps Trump, in his haste to punish Beijing, has not fully considered the business impact on American companies as a result of the ban on WeChat. Perhaps the president thought if he could ban TikTok in America, where it has 100 million users, he certainly could ban WeChat. After all, there were only about 19 million WeChat active users in the U.S. (according to Apptopia).
However, unlike TikTok, which is purely for entertainment, WeChat is more than just a messaging social media. WeChat is the lifestyle and lifeblood in China, with a user base of over 889 million in the mainland. In fact, it’s not an exaggeration to say that it’s virtually impossible to live in China without WeChat because the app is also a digital wallet.
Alibaba, Baidu and Tencent are the biggest e-payment technology players in China. E-wallets such as WeChat Pay and AliPay are the dominant way to make contactless payments, accounting for more than 90% of the Chinese market (WeChat Pay captures 39% while AliPay grabs 53% market share). Even in rural areas, the penetration of e-payment is almost 50%.
In 2018 alone, China, the world’s largest mobile payment market, handled a total of 532.814 billion mobile payment transactions worth 445.22 trillion Yuan (US$63.83 trillion). But for the three months in the fourth quarter of 2019, digital payments skyrocketed 70% – banks processed 62.1 billion electronic payments, representing a total of 654.9 trillion Yuan (US$93.93 trillion).
A recent online survey of 717,000 respondents conducted by a public opinion polling on WeChat showed that 95% would throw away Apple’s iPhones or other U.S. devices if they did not carry WeChat. The survey also said Chinese consumers will switch to other brands, such as Huawei, Xiaomi or even South Korean Samsung if WeChat is removed from Apple’s App Store.
In another new research note from analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the removal of WeChat could cut Apple’s iPhone shipment by up to 30%, depending whether the ban is only applicable in the U.S. only or worldwide. Kuo, who has been one of the most reliable sources for information about future Apple hardware products, has warned investors to be cautious about the ban.
Naturally, without WeChat, it will be extremely difficult to sell iPhones to Chinese consumers. Android phones, meanwhile, allow the flexibility of installing WeChat outside of Google Play Store. So it wasn’t so bad. Unfortunately to iPhones, Apple’s iOS operating system does not allow the flexibility to do so – unless the iPhone is hacked through something called “jailbreak”.
How important is China to Apple? Last year, before the Coronavirus outbreak, a whopping 20% of Apple’s total revenue came from China. In the first quarter this year (after the Covid-19 outbreak), iPhone sales in China alone contributed US$13.58 billion to Apple. Therefore, it’s not rocket science that the American firm will take a hit if WeChat is out of reach on Apple’s App Store.
Huawei, whose mobile market share in China has grown to 38%, is more than happy to sell more phones to domestic consumers if Apple’s iPhone sales suffer due to a ban on WeChat. Likewise, Tencent will be more than happy to block iPhones from using WeChat if Beijing decides to retaliate, largely because WeChat users in the U.S. are negligible.
For Chinese students currently studying in the U.S., the ban on WeChat was simply unbelievable. Most popular messaging apps in the U.S, including Facebook Messenger, Whatsapp and Telegram have been blocked in China. They may need to use VPN (virtual private networks) to defeat Trump’s ban on WeChat as it’s the only app they can use to communicate with their families back home.
In 2018 alone, there were 369,548 students from China, accounting for 33.7% of international students who contributed nearly US$15 billion to the U.S. economy. Therefore, Trump’s move could force the Chinese students to shift to other countries such as the U.K., Australia or Canada, dealing a blow to the American universities’ revenue.
But Apple won’t be the only American company to be affected if the ban on WeChat goes full-blown. Walmart in China, for example, only accepts WeChat Pay for faster checkout. Cash is almost unacceptable in the mainland. If Walmart is forced to cut ties with Tencent under a Trumps’ half-baked policy, the American retail hypermarkets could be in trouble.
If Trump thinks either Tencent or Beijing will lose sleep over his ban on WeChat, the president has miscalculated. It will have little impact on daily activities in China. On the contrary, American businessmen and corporations would be crippled. The Trump administration has no freaking idea how massive WeChat is in China.
As early as 2017, analyst Ben Thompson had already revealed that unlike the rest of the world, in China the most important layer of the smartphone stack is not the phone’s operating system, but rather WeChat. The app is everything – for reading news, for hailing taxis, for paying for lunch, for accessing government resources, for business. An iPhone without WeChat is effectively useless.

China’s days as world’s factory are over, Taiwanese iPhone maker Foxconn says
US-China trade war is finishing China’s time as factory to the world & Foxconn is adding more capacity in other countries, chairman Liu said.
DEBBY WU 12 August, 2020
Taipei: A key supplier to Apple Inc. and a dozen other tech giants plans to split its supply chain between the Chinese market and the U.S., declaring that China’s time as factory to the world is finished because of the trade war.
Hon Hai Precision Industry Co. Chairman Young Liu said it’s gradually adding more capacity outside of China, the main base of production for gadgets from iPhones to Dell desktops and Nintendo Switches. The proportion outside the country is now at 30%, up from 25% last June.
That ratio will rise as the company — known also as Foxconn — moves more manufacturing to Southeast Asia and other regions to avoid escalating tariffs on Chinese-made goods headed to U.S. markets, Liu told reporters after his company reported financial results.
“No matter if it’s India, Southeast Asia or the Americas, there will be a manufacturing ecosystem in each,” Liu said, adding that while China will still play a key role in Foxconn’s manufacturing empire, the country’s “days as the world’s factory are done.”

500 yo Bully should be grateful to Taiwan because of companies like Foxconn who invested in Bullyland in the 80s and 90s, teach thousands of peasant villagers there how to solder wires, make cheap electronics, then 1G, 2G, 3G phones etc. After learning the technology they quickly formed their own companies like ZTE and Huawei, copy and paste, make their own phones to compete with Taiwanese, never say thank you, like they never say thank you to Honkies for teaching them capitalist ways, now bully them instead, introduce Extradition Law that would also subject Taiwanese to Bullylaws.
ReplyDeleteIf not for Honkies and Taiwanese, Bullyland would not be so prosperous today. But now talk big.
New Huawei phones can only use their own HarmonyOS and cannot access Android based apps. And Huawei market share in China is only 36%, meaning most of the Android phones there (Oppo, Vivo etc) are still dependent on US Google.
ReplyDeleteAin't u repeating yr blurred & f*cked wet dream no ends!
DeleteJust a few simple facts to jerk yr fart filled jelly inside the skull.
1) "see how far Tamils can progress given the opportunity"
The Indians of all castes continually looking down not only inter but also intra caste.
The saddest part is all capable Indians would rather work & stay oversea than coming home to advance the motherland.
In fact many of them think India is a hopeless bracket case of despair.
That's the only reason why India can't advances sopo fast enough.
2) "Andrew Yang had won the Democratic nomination...he's 100% Taiwanese then Bully will be really GERAM."
Wakakakakaka… no need to comment about the most impossible wet dream of yrs in a xenophobic white supremist land.
3) Foxconn's blood sucking manufacturing facilities can be anywhere & China doesn't need them bcoz of low pay & lousy owner attitude.
Apple's profit & market r in China! Just think about that, if u have some business sense!
4) "China’s Huawei, ZTE Set To Be Shut Out of India’s 5G Trials"
Really bodoh sombong to the nth.
5G mobile phones r expensive comparatively to 2,3 or 4G models.
What's the use of a 5G network when ONLY the rich but few Indians can afford those phones.
The vast market of India is still low cost 2&3G phones!
Typical Indian talk, right?
5) "Foxconn who invested in Bullyland in the 80s and 90s, teach thousands of peasant villagers there how to solder wires, make cheap electronics, then 1G, 2G, 3G phones etc"
Ask yrself WHY China but no other countries in the same or lower stage of social development?
Bcoz Terry Gou is a taiwanese Chinese?
Terry Gou DOESN'T care about ethnicity but the colour of the dollar note!
He has correctly calculated (most likely bcoz of his Chinese ancestry) with the same amount of investment, Chinese workers give the biggest ROI.
Exploitation, yes. But it's also the hardworking & keen to learn attitude of these Chinese workers put where foxconn is today.
It's more correctly to say these Chinese workers made foxconn.
6) "say thank you to honkies & Taiwanese"
For what?
If it's for spoon-fed then look all-over the world lah for similar examples as u have farted!
Did US said tq to Germany for the tech & people?
Did pommie said tq to the Chinese for the ill-gotten opium money?

Sand dredge digs up ancient ceramics in Pahang river
Bernama -August 14, 2020
PEKAN: A number of artefacts were recovered at a sand mine in Sungai Pahang recently believed to date back to the Tang, Song and Ming dynasties, as well as the Malacca and Pahang Sultanates.
They were discovered by accident last week in sand suction equipment by the mine operator, said archaeology buff Dionysius S.K Sharma, who has been appointed by the National Heritage Department as research project leader.
The director-general of heritage, Mesran Mohd Yusop, said most of the artefacts are pieces of Song celadon ceramics, Ming ceramics, as well as ancient Chinese and Malay coins.
“A team of divers found some artefacts (at a depth of 15m) near a wooden structure believed to be a ship. But further investigation is needed,” said Sharma. The search was performed over three days after the first discovery and supervised by the heritage department.
“A lot of the ceramics looked like they had new cracks because of the dredging machinery and some looked like they were broken a long time ago,” said Mesran at a press conference today also attended by archaeology division director, Ruzairy Arbi.
The department will conduct further research for archaeological dating which will provide a new and better understanding of the ancient maritime trade here, he said.
“We hope that through this discovery we will uncover the cultural history of Pahang, particularly of Pekan,” said Mesran. The team will look for as many artefacts as possible in hopes of finding something of greater significance like unbroken pottery.
He urged the public to report archaeological finds as required under the National Heritage Act 2005.

KT, please verify this SARS-Cov-2 challenging trial news just been broken out by CNN.
ReplyDeleteThen write about it!
I read about it about a week ago in the DarkWeb but chose not to believe its authenticity. It was tagged as a way for trump to have a covid-19 safe reelection!
This is MORE real & scaredly! & the implications to human life, all-over the world, is treacherous.
USofA is in the process of implementing challenging trial for SARS-Cov-2.
It can happens within days!
During the challenging trial, artificial copy of the SARS-Cov-2 (u read correctly, a lab incubated coronavirus) r induced into the unknowing public in multiple locations.
The purpose IS to get as many people infected with covid-19, to create an man-made pandemic.
Then these clusters of sicked people will be subjucted to various experimental covid-19 vaccine tests.
It's claimed that such challenging trials can speed up the successful verification of the various vaccines, which r now going through long & tedious stage3 safety trials at various parts of the world where covid-19 runs wild!
Questions to ask
1) how easy to duplicate an existing coronaries artificially in the lab?
2) if it can be done, then has it been done prior to the existing pandemic?
3) how safe is this artificial coronavirus, as it's NOT natural? R we playing God again?
4) what is the false-safe feature built into this artificial SARS-Cov-2 coronavirus if it gets out of human control?
5) how many places, outside USofA will be used as guinea pigs? R those govts/people been knowledgeably informed about the pros&cons? Have any agreements been reached?
All of u, start googling & investigating this challenging trial proposal. It is JUST been exposed by CNN!
Even the experts interviewed by CNN r casting strong doubts about its viability & raise extreme concerns!
all I have on CNN latest is:
DeleteDr. Anthony Fauci, the United States' leading infectious disease expert, has warned that if the country allows coronavirus infections to run rampant to achieve possible herd immunity, the death toll would be massive, especially among vulnerable people.
++++++++
nothing yet on artificial SAR-Cov-2
Tag challenging trial on CNN!
DeleteCK, this morning CNN anchored by Wolff Blitzer did a small snippet on this subject of challenging trial in which he mentioned about the safety of obtaining a strain of Covid19 and injecting into volunteers as a "short-cut". Other than that, there's hardly any elaboration of this matter and no other relevant talking heads invited to discuss.
DeleteIn a challenge trial, large pool of volunteers WOULD be hard to get - bcoz one is subjecting the body to a lethal virus that kill & has NO instant & current vaccine!
DeleteIt's a deadth trap for those participants, knowingly &/or unknowingly.
Large number of participants WOULD die until a successful vaccine can be tested & refined!
This is ethically very inhumane & cruel!
It's worst than herd immunization!
The ban on WeChat and Tencent need not and should not overreach to Kacau China within its borders, and that includes American companies in China, and Apple Store in China.
ReplyDeleteSuffice to ban WeChat and Tencent e-wallet use within US borders.
Apple Stores logic are perfectly able to make country location-based download decisions.
In fact, currently, if you are in Malaysia, there are some Apps in Apple Store that you are barred from downloading, mainly due to commercial or copyright reasons.
In relations between nations, reciprocity is very important.
The Americans should have reciprocally banned CCP-land Apps years ago when CCP banned Facebook, WhatsApp, Google, Gmail, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Wikipedia, Pinterest, Quora, Netflix, Blogspot ( yes, Ktemoc Konsiders and Finance-Twitter are banned in CCP)
CCP's Internet strategy wad simple strategy is quite simple – if you can’t beat them, ban them (or force them to sell to you) .
Let CCP get a little taste of their own medicine.
Old moneyed mfer, u know the real meaning of reciprocity?

CCP banned Facebook, WhatsApp, Google, Gmail, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Wikipedia, Pinterest, Quora, Netflix, Blogspot BCOZ they r not following Chinese multimedia laws!
What reciprocity when TikToK & WeChat r following the US multimedia laws & yet got banned!
National security?
Only yr uncle Sam can have national security, even though it's based on fabricated charges, China can't have the same, when proofs r abundant about US app secret backdoor eardropping capability!
Wakakakakaka… social media advancements in internet, no countries in the world can best China by an inch.
WhatsApp, so clumsy & archaic. Yet morons outside China think it's the best thing since messenger or ICQ!
What's Facebook/Snapchat/Instagram but poor distant jaguh kampongs compared with TikTok!
Netflix? A copycat of IQIYI, w/o paying copyright as demanded by yr western acolytes!
BTW, I'm the proof that Wikipedia, Quora, Ktemoc Konsiders and Finance-Twitter can be accessed in China w/o problems.
Ooop… for a old moneyed mfer, u wouldn't know/use any of these Chinese App. All u know is western lies mined to con blurred f*ck like u.
For what?
So that minions can be enticed to forever genuflecting under yr demoNcratic masters, RIGHT?
What ban from China ?
DeleteTypical show of thick skull from the Blind Mice club
Those apps are NOT banned in China. Those companies running those apps chose not to follow Chinese law. Whereas, TikTok follows all US laws.
Apple app store works in China. Microsoft Bing works in China. Apple maps work in China.
But Google Play store, Google search and Google maps don't work in China NOT because of any ban but because they refused to comply to the laws of the foreign country, so they were welcome to quit on their own, which they did.
All those apps that worked in China are American big Data companies. Apple and Microsoft are actively harvesting big Data from hundreds of millions of Chinese citizens and they have been doing it for at least a decade. So where's the 'national security' ban from China ?
Recently the big wallop from the deranged Orange was a ban on CCP members from the US. Is it inconceivable that the Trump administration using executive action to compel Apple into giving access to their Chinese database to help identify members and their families ?

ReplyDeleteThat's yr side of fabricated fart!
DeleteApple devices r a mixed bag of assembled modules, mostly manufactured in China.
Foxconn is ONLY Apple's choiced bloodsucking assembler. Apple chooses Foxconn as her major assembler bcoz Foxconn can assemble quality products out from those various modules due to the diligent workers. Otherwise, highly precision automation robots CAN do these reassembly required with even more profit margin for Foxconn.
Besides, since most of the modules r China made, it ONLY makes profit maximization sense to have the product assembled at source!
These Chinese workers r highly demanded. If Foxconn goes kaput due to calling demand for Apple, most of them can find jobs from Xiaomi, Huawei, DJI, Hikvision & thousands of other high tech manufacturers in China Proper.
Ask yr 台毒 sense, why Terry Gou didn't choose Taichung/Kaohsiung/Hualien, so that those unemployed Taiwaneses can work in the assembly plants?
Bcoz most of the current Taiwanese youth r grown/cultivated in greenhouses by 娘腔 morons. They wouldn't be able to do a proper reassembly quality product!

Even in relatively unfree Malaysia and Singapore, Facebook and Google are able to mostly comply with local laws. If there is probable cause a person has committed a crime, the Social Media platforms will cooperate with police, under due process.
ReplyDeleteWhat CCP demanded was complete and unconditional access to all data and personal details.
The foreign social media platforms correctly refused.
Under the CCP, there is essentially no legal differentiation between what is personal data and what the State has a right to control. Truly a demonNcracy.
The demands made by the CCP , that resulted in the banning of Facebook, Google, WhatsApp, GMail, YouTube, Twitter, Quora, Blogspot, when they declined to comply, are at the heart of why CCP-based Social media pose a national security risk in the Free World.
The CCP has the legal power and actual capability to unfettered, unconditional access to personal data on CCP-land based servers. Solemn declarations by the likes of Huawei, TikTok and WeChat that they would not hand over personal data to the CCP are worth less than dirty wiped Toilet Paper.
Who wants to wait for actual incidents of data being handed to CCP ? By then it is too late.
Did u actually comb through the multimedia laws of China?
ReplyDeleteOr AGAIN, u just farted!
"What CCP demanded was complete and unconditional access to all data and personal details"
Show proof that such clause exist lah.
Or just another pure f*cked conjecture!
"Under the CCP, there is essentially no legal differentiation between what is personal data and what the State has a right to control"
Is that coming from u directly? Or r u been told/indoctrinated to fart like that?
"The demands made by the CCP , that resulted in the banning of Facebook, Google, WhatsApp, GMail, YouTube, Twitter, Quora, Blogspot, when they declined to comply, are at the heart of why CCP-based Social media pose a national security risk in the Free World."
What about similar demands made by CIA/FBI/HSD/NSA? Is it a OK for u?
Which free world u r living in?
"The CCP has the legal power and actual capability to unfettered, unconditional access to personal data on CCP-land based servers. Solemn declarations by the likes of Huawei, TikTok and WeChat that they would not hand over personal data to the CCP are worth less than dirty wiped Toilet Paper."
Old moneyed mfer, can show proofs ke for the above fart? BTW yr uncle Sam's words tak pakai lah. They r just pure recycled toilet paper.
While in the similar cases, there r amble proofs that CIA/FBI/HSD/NSA has the legal power and actual capability to unfettered, unconditional access to personal data on ALL US based servers!
Who wants to wait for actual incidents of data being handed to enforcing agents, govt or otherwise!
Dickheads like u lah, when u know that uncle Sam is eardropping on u NOW every time u used an US social media app!
Perhaps, u like to be eardropped as long as it's yr demoNcratic governing authority, NO?

DeleteIn 2016, Apple defied a Federal court order obtained by the FBI instructing it to unlock a terrorists iPhone to facilitate investigations.
THAT is Checks and Balances which the USA has plenty and CCP has None.
Even the sensational revelations of Snowden regarding NSA surveillance was a pipsqueak compared to CCP's Carte Blanche powers over CCP-based servers.
What NSA got condemned over was harvesting the meta-data of phone calls and e-mails. Basically the Header data, which account sent the e-mail , which account received the e-mail, the Subject Heading.
If the e-mail Subject was camouflaged under some innocent-looking topic like "What's for Dinner tonight" , NSA would get totally no useful information.
No contents of e-mails or phone calls were able to be monitored.
This is so lame compared to CCP total access to CCP-based data.
Old moneyed mfer, dig deeper into how the German intelligence found out how Merkel's iPhone was tagged by the CIA lah!
DeleteEd Snowdon disclosed it & the German intelligent did a teardown of Merkel's iPhone to find out the TRUTH!
Wakakakakaka…
"NSA got condemned over was harvesting the meta-data of phone calls and e-mails. Basically the Header data, which account sent the e-mail , which account received the e-mail, the Subject Heading."
How easy to con s old moneyed mfer about techie espionage!
If u like, do a research on data crawler modules, that many search engine used them. Then expand yr f*cked neurons to see if/what counterintelligent can do with that tool.
Then u come back & fart lah about "No contents of e-mails or phone calls were able to be monitored."
U r just one demoNcratic dickhead, high on super CCP-bashing adrenaline injection, right?

ReplyDeletePhoto says a thousand words....Tencent top management posing with CCP Party cadres.
That is not a China National Flag , but CCP Flag.
CCP and Tencent ....there is no daylight gap between them.
Wow!!
DeleteIf u can tie what's showing in a picture, just like that.
Then, what can u say about trump & netanyahu standing behind a Zionist flag?
Ditto with pompeo speaking behind a union flag with all those diehard southern unionists in the southern states.
As u said it - Photo says a thousand words!
Or u r going to twist a fart in yr double standard?
May I digress. One man's desire, the whole country as well as its coterie of brotherhood countries complied to ban Huawei on the never proven 2 years old allegation of security risk. This so called leader of the world claiming China stole their intellectual property surely must have taken down every screw and plastic of the Huawei equipment, subject them to microscopic dissection, scanning and testing and what not, but yet still can't find anything wrong. Either the allegation is a lie or China technology is miles ahead and more advance than them. That bring me to the point, why would China want to steal such "chair-kai" intellectual property from US?
ReplyDeleteAnd the "one man's desire", is that democracy? More like autocratic to me!
The arrest of Sabrina Meng by US is just a repeat of US's dirty trick on French world leader in power and grid Alstom Energy. Blatant robbery (read the book "The American Trap" by Frédéric Pierucci. Also research on The Agreement the American made the Japanese signed on Concerning the Trade in Semiconductor Products when Japan was way ahead in the world. Remember the Sony Walkman?
The US action on Chinese tech companies as well as the trade war are just brutal force to "bully" (borrow the often quoted word but wrongly assigned actor), to sabotage China economy and stifle its advancement.
