Tencent's WeChat has been removed from the US Trade Representative’s list of "notorious" sellers of counterfeit goods.
The removal follows the US Department of Defence's designation of Tencent as a "Chinese military company."
WeChat was previously included on the list due to its association with counterfeit products being sold through its platform.
Tencent expressed satisfaction with the decision, asserting its commitment to intellectual property protection.
The US report underscores that China is still the largest source of counterfeit goods globally, with a significant majority of seizures by US customs linked to Chinese products.
