Most of Chinese America work hard and pay a lot of Tax to America, but some of us have old age parents who are living in China . WeChat is the only one that both sides can use for communication.

The Chinese government side has blocked YouTube, Google, Facebook, Twitter, tumblr, Instagram, WhatsApp, etc etc etc. So why not tiktok and wechat?

[scottyflintstone]

when will FB and Youtube be avail in China?

[xiangyueguseva]

Any body have 90 years old father or mother who is living in far from you and you can’t go to visit he or her often?

[whys]

[AdamSmith-gsdv]

I'm curious, has anyone on Android try to download the Wechat APK from another website and see if it still works? If it does this "ban" is toothless

[xiangyueguseva]

We are waiting to see what going to happen!

[feng]

We chat should proactive remove itself from Apple store to avoid future bans

[EzioAuditore]

Just because somone makes a wechat account doesent make them an active user, ive never even seen anyone use it here

[ericp]

This is so sad, but Democrats feel like there’s nothing wrong with it.
