Full Text Translation.
Today, President Trump signed an executive order to address the ongoing threat posed by Chinese software applications. The Chinese (Communist) government requires all commercial companies, large and small, to support the political goals of the Chinese Communist Party, as Chinese (Communist) regulators have recently demonstrated.
The Chinese (Communist) State’s civil-military integration strategy is explicitly designed to unite or coerce civilian companies to assist the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (CCP military). The executive order tasks the Secretary of Commerce with identifying prohibited transactions involving eight Chinese software applications, including payment services; directs the Secretary to identify and take appropriate action on additional software applications; and establishes programs to control the export of exploitable U.S. user data to foreign adversaries.
President Trump continues to prioritize the safety and security of the U.S. homeland and the American people.
