Trump Signed an Executive Order to ban 8 Mobile Apps Transactions, Including Alipay and Wechat Pay

Donald Trump signed an executive order on 5 Jan local time banning transactions of 8 Chinese-related mobile apps, including Alipay and Wechat pay. The ban will take effect in 45 days.

The Trump government has not yet announced the contents of the order. However, Steve Herman, a reporter of the Voice of America who stationed in the White House, posted on Twitter that the prohibited transaction mobile apps include Alipay, Wechat pay, CamScanner, QQ wallet, SHAREit, Tencent QQ, VMate and WPS Office.

Donald Trump pointed out that the apps may be able to obtain personal and sensitive information of users via mobile devices, tablets and computers. The collected data may have a chance for the Chinese government to “track the position of Federal Government staff and contract staff and set up personal message files”. According to The Wall Street Journal, the order instructs the Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross to assess whether other software constitutes threats to the US national security. The order also requests the Secretary of Commerce, the Head of Justice Department and the Director of National Intelligence to publish suggestions to prevent US user data being transferred to the hands of the overseas opponents.
