美国司法部：美国用户可正常使用微信，不会面临处罚
作者：CGTN美国司法部9月16日称，即使美国政府通过针对微信的相关“禁令”，使用该应用程序的美国用户也不会面临民事或刑事处罚。
WeChat users will not face civil or criminal penalties even if the United States bans the Chinese-owned messaging app through other actions next week, the U.S. Justice Department said on Wednesday.
8月6日，美国总统特朗普签署了行政令，称抖音海外版TikTok和微信对美国国家安全构成“重大威胁”，将在45天后禁止任何美国个人或团体与TikTok、微信及其中国母公司进行交易。行政令还表示，违反规定的美国个人或团体或将面临制裁。
In August, President Donald Trump unveiled a proposed sweeping ban on U.S. transactions with Tencent, owner of the popular Chinese mainland app. The executive order, which called WeChat and Bytedance's short-video app TikTok "significant threats" to national security, followed stepped-up U.S. efforts to purge "untrusted" Chinese apps from U.S. digital networks.
美国商务部部长威尔伯·罗斯（Wilbur Ross）9月20日将发布相关条例，明确具体哪些与微信相关的交易将被禁止。
9月16日，美国司法部在一份文件中回应称，即将发布的条例并不针对那些为了私人信息交流或商业信息交流而使用或下载微信的个人或团体，这些用户不会面临民事或刑事处罚。但司法部同时也提醒：“该应用的交流功能，可能会因限制其交易的一些措施而受到直接或间接损害。”
Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross is set to release regulations by Sunday clarifying what WeChat transactions will be prohibited.
The Justice Department responded in a filing on Wednesday that Ross does not plan to target persons or groups who only download or use WeChat to convey personal or business information and said they would not face criminal or civil penalties.
But the department added that “use of the app for such communications could be directly or indirectly impaired through measures targeted at other transactions.”
美国微信用户提起诉讼
根据知名分析平台Sensor Tower的数据，微信在美国的下载次数约为1900万次。特朗普政府的微信 “封杀令”，引发了美国微信用户的不满。此前，一些美国微信用户对特朗普政府提起诉讼，称其针对微信的行政令侵犯了宪法赋予他们的权利，要求地区联邦法院予以推翻。
WeChat has been downloaded 19 million times in the United States, showed data from Sensor Tower.
WeChat users have filed a motion in U.S. District Court in San Francisco seeking a preliminary injunction to bar the Trump administration from prohibiting the use of WeChat in the United States by individual users, businesses and groups.
The WeChat users who sued said the order apparently prohibits “millions of WeChat users in the United States ... from using the most popular social media space for Chinese speakers in the world.”
中方回应
对于微信等应用程序遭特朗普政府“围追堵截”，外交部发言人汪文斌在8月7日的例行记者会上回应表示：“美方借口国家安全，频繁动用国家力量，无理打压非美国企业，这是赤裸裸的霸凌行径，中方坚决反对。”8月 24日，外交部发言人赵立坚也表示中方支持相关企业拿起法律武器维护正当权益，也将继续采取一切必要措施坚决维护中国企业的合法权益。
China's Foreign Ministry has said that it firmly opposes the U.S. ban, calling the U.S. move "blatant hegemonic acts," and vowed to defend the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese businesses. The ministry also said it supports relevant companies in taking up legal weapons to safeguard their rights and interests.
