Anons are missing something big here.

Right before the riots.

Right before the Leftist full blown panic.

This was ENTERED INTO THE CONGRESSIONAL RECORD.

 

ADDRESSING THE THREAT POSED BY APPLICATIONS AND OTHER SOFTWARE

DEVELOPED OR CONTROLLED BY CHINESE COMPANIES–MESSAGE FROM THE

PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES (H. DOC. NO. 117-6)

 

The SPEAKER pro tempore laid before the House the following message

from the President of the United States; which was read and, together

with the accompanying papers, referred to the Committee on Foreign

Affairs and ordered to be printed:

 

To the Congress of the United States:

Pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50

U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) (IEEPA), the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C.

1601 et seq.), and section 301 of title 3, United States Code, I hereby

report that I have issued an Executive Order declaring additional steps

to be taken concerning the national emergency with respect to the

information and communications technology and services supply chain

declared in Executive Order 13873 of May 15, 2019 (Securing the

Information and Communications Technology and Services Supply Chain) to

deal with the threat posed by applications and other

software developed or controlled by Chinese companies.

The pace and pervasiveness of the spread in the United States of

certain connected mobile and desktop applications and other software

developed or controlled by persons in the People's Republic of China

(PRC), to include Hong Kong and Macau (China), continue to threaten the

national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States. By

accessing personal electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, and

computers, Chinese connected software applications can access and

capture vast swaths of information from users, including sensitive

personally identifiable information and private information. The

continuing activity of the PRC and the Chinese Communist Party to steal

or otherwise obtain United States persons' data makes clear that there

is an intent to use bulk data collection to advance China's economic

and national security agenda. To deal with this threat, additional

steps are required against those who develop or control certain Chinese

connected software applications to protect our national security.

The Executive Order prohibits certain future transactions, as

determined by the Secretary of Commerce (Secretary), involving the

following Chinese connected software applications: Alipay, CamScanner,

QQ Wallet, SHAREit, Tencent QQ, VMate, WeChat Pay, and WPS Office. The

Secretary is also directed to:

(i) continue to evaluate Chinese connected software applications that

may pose an unacceptable risk to the national security, foreign policy,

or economy of the United States, and to take appropriate action in

accordance with Executive Order 13873; and

(ii) in consultation with the Attorney General and the Director of

National Intelligence, provide a report to the Assistant to the

President for National Security Affairs with recommendations to prevent

the sale or transfer of United States user data to, or access of such

data by, foreign adversaries, including through the establishment of

regulations and policies to identify, control, and license the export

of such data.

I have delegated to the Secretary, in consultation with the Secretary

of the Treasury and the Attorney General, the authority to take such

actions, including adopting appropriate rules and regulations, and

employing all other powers granted to the President by IEEPA, as may be

necessary to implement the Executive Order. The heads of all executive

departments and agencies are directed to take all appropriate measures

within their authority to implement the provisions of the Executive

Order.

I am enclosing a copy of the Executive Order I have issued.

Donald J. Trump.

The White House, January 5, 2021.
