WeChat Removed from US 'Notorious' Counterfeit Sellers List Amid Security Concerns

Credited from: SCMP

  • 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.
