WeChat is one of the most used apps in the world. It is ubiquitous in China and also popular in Southeast Asia and within Chinese diaspora communities. The Chinese-owned app is sometimes referred to as the “everything app” – like WhatsApp, Facebook, Amazon and Tinder all in one. However Western governments have security concerns about it, mainly that the app could be used to spy on users. Canada’s ban is effective immediately. Still, there is no evidence that government information has been compromised through WeChat, the president of Canada’s Treasury Board, Anita Anand, said in a statement. Do you think that the west have genuine security concerns against Chinese apps ?
