This is a difficult choice for Chinese fruit powder (Apple product enthusiasts).
On the 6th of this month, U.S. President Trump signed an administrative order on the grounds of national security. After 45 days, any American individual or physical or Chinese mobile phone application Tiktok, WeChat and its parent company's byte beating, and Tencent for any transactions.
Although this round of siege of Chinese high -tech enterprises, although Tiktok has attracted public attention, because the main users of the software are outside China, the ban has no substantial impact on ordinary Chinese people.However, the threat to WeChat is different.
Some people in the industry have interpreted that after September 20, the WeChat download service provided by Apple Application Mall and Google Application Mall may also be regarded as a kind of transaction.This means that WeChat will be forcibly removed. Users of the Android system may also bypass Google Application Mall to download and install software, but iPhone users may be forced to give up using WeChat.
As Western communication software such as WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram, and other Western communication software are blocked outside the firewall in China, WeChat is unique in the Chinese market.Because it contains various functions, it has become the most important cornerstone in digital life of Chinese people.
The Chinese life is almost bundled with WeChat.Chatting and communication, obtaining news, sharing photos, shopping, transfer payment, borrowing financial management, and taking bus will use WeChat; exchanges business cards in social and business activities have long been out of date, sweeping WeChat is the standard action to establish contacts.Since the epidemic, people have to use WeChat mini -programs to prove their action trajectory and health status as a pass in and out of various places.
If one day, Apple and WeChat can only choose one of them. How would the Chinese people choose?
Tired of social media, and the Chinese Internet citizen who was bundled with WeChat and worked for 24 hours, ridiculed that uninstalling WeChat may not be a bad thing. Perhaps the life happiness index will be improved according to the index level;Back to your information, that's because I use apples.
However, from various surveys recently appearing on the Internet, most Chinese netizens will give up the iPhone very realisticly for WeChat, and some people are proud of switching to domestic brands such as Huawei, as well as local operating systems such as Hongmeng.Some netizens said: Without apples, they can choose Huawei and have no WeChat. Will the seven aunts and eight aunts use Facebook?Some people disdain that this is simply a problem that the Chinese can survive if you don't have to think about it.
The wording of the administrative order signed by Trump is not clear. To what extent will the ban on WeChat, there are no details at present, and there are no details at present.This administrative order may be just doing it in the end, but it may also have a serious impact.
Apple, which attaches great importance to the Chinese market, may suffer from losses.Some market analysts pointed out that under the pessimistic situation of Apple Application Mall, iPhone's sales in China will fall by 30%.Apple has been in China for many years. Last year, the price reduction in China was particularly reduced. In order to cooperate with the Chinese market, it also decided to allow the new iPhone12 of Golden Autumn Noodles to support the Beidou navigation system. Once WeChat is removed from the Apple Application Mall, these efforts of Chinese consumers will pay East.flow.
Of course, it is not just Apple, Starbucks, KFC, Disney, McDonald's and other American players who have highly rely on WeChat platforms to contact Chinese consumers and provide services such as online ordering and appointment.Victims of WeChat.This also shows to a certain extent that China and the United States have a fierce confrontation, and it is difficult to have the cruel reality of winners.
Many Chinese people believe that if Apple chooses Huawei, they can continue to use WeChat, avoid the fierce game beacon of China and the United States, and can also see the jokes of lying guns in Chinese American companies, but for China, whether the decourse response is the mostA good way?
From Earlier ZTE, Huawei, to today's Tiktok and WeChat, the United States' suppression of Chinese high -tech companies was higher than waves.U.S. Secretary of State Pompeo also announced the expansion of net network on the 5th this month. It is obviously to curb Chinese technology companies from the fields of software, hardware, services, and operation.The technology industry is completely excluded from the door of the international digital economy.
China has huge domestic markets, similar to Internet giants such as Baidu, Tencent, Alibaba, etc., and has created an Internet ecosystem that meets the official supervision and review requirements for many years to meet the basic needs of Chinese people.However, in the face of the iron curtains of the United States, China really has to choose to embark on the decoupling road paved by the opponent, give up to contact the outside world, and stay closed market?Or is it blocked by an open attitude, so as to break through the iron curtain that the United States is trying to pull down and establish a connection with a larger world?Apple is still WeChat, which may be a sub -problem for Chinese netizens, but in the face of century problems such as the Sino -US competition, it takes greater wisdom to answer.
