财富与中国密切相关的美国公司们正在反击特朗普政府的微信禁令,称这可能削弱它们在世界第二大经济体中的竞争力。包括苹果、福特、沃尔玛和迪士尼在内的十多家美国大型跨国公司周二在与白宫官员的通话中,提出了对微信禁令的担忧。“对于那些不在中国生活的人来说,他们不明白,如果美国公司不被允许和微信交易,影响到底会有多大...他们会在每个竞争对手面前处于严重的劣势,”美中商业委员会主席克雷格-艾伦说。微信应用在全球有超过12亿人使用,在中国无处不在,消费者、企业和政府都在使用微信进行移动支付、信息传递、电子商务、官方沟通等功能。对于任何在中国做生意的人来说,包括美国公司,微信都是与消费者联系的重要营销中心。据知情人士透露,此次通话的目的之一是希望明确特朗普上周签署的行政命令的确切含义,其中提到禁止美国人进行 "任何与微信有关的交易",但却将实际细节留给商务部去解决。这些公司们希望政府在未来几周内实施该命令时,能缩小该命令的范围。
周二参加电话会议的其他与会者包括宝洁公司、英特尔公司、大都会人寿公司、高盛集团公司、摩根士丹利、联合包裹服务公司、默克公司和嘉吉公司。这些公司或拒绝评论,或未回应评论请求,但他们参加与白宫的电话会议这一举动,是中美两国关系恶化对两国商业关系构成威胁的另一个迹象。
U.S. companies whose fortunes are linked to China are pushing back against the Trump administration’s plans to restrict business transactions involving the WeChat app from Tencent Holdings Ltd., saying it could undermine their competitiveness in the world’s second-biggest economy. More than a dozen major U.S. multinational companies raised concerns in a call with White House officials Tuesday about the potentially broad scope and impact of Mr. Trump’s executive order targeting WeChat, set to take effect late next month. Apple Inc., Ford Motor Co., Walmart Inc. and Walt Disney Co. were among those participating in the call, according to people familiar with the situation. “For those who don’t live in China, they don’t understand how vast the implications are if American companies aren’t allowed to use it,” said Craig Allen, president of the U.S.-China Business Council. “They are going to be held at a severe disadvantage to every competitor,” he added.
Other participants in the call Tuesday included Procter & Gamble Co., Intel Corp., MetLife Inc., Goldman Sachs Group Inc., Morgan Stanley, United Parcel Service Inc., Merck & Co. Inc. and Cargill Inc., according to the people. The companies either declined to comment or didn’t respond to requests for comment. Their participation in the call with the White House is another sign that deteriorating relations between Washington and Beijing poses a threat to commercial relations between the two nations. source
