WeChat vs US fight far from over

NEW JERSEY: The legal battle against the Trump administration’s WeChat ban will reach a federal appellate court if an upcoming hearing rules in favor of the US government, according to a non-profit group representing US WeChat users, which has insisted on a high-profile challenge against the ban since August.

That suggests the motion filed against the ban targeting WeChat, a rare act of defiance against the US government among the Chinese-American community, could well continue after the November presidential election, an advisor to the US WeChat Users Alliance told the Global Times in an exclusive interview on Sunday.
