Well, China will soon be the worlds number 1 economy anyway and the US is a sinking ship that will soon be totally underwater.
If this ban happens it will only hurt US companies and economy - China will not be hurt by this at all. Actually this will just increase their internal market since Chinese population will just turn to Chinese app products like with Huawei that's now developing its own OS. In a couple of years it will have all apps anyway. So by banning China you will only make them stronger while weakening yourself.

Rokka, 11 Aug 2020It's the equivalent of Whatsapp, mainly used in China ... moreYeah, the biggest difference is that Wechat is used to pay for everything in China instead of bank cards or cash and is used for online shopping. Basically most people could not do without it in China

Also, if Apple Store is blocked in China it would tank iPhone sales

I think you all are getting your panties in a bunch for no reason. The executive order will most probably require that US companies have no contracts with WeChat & TikTok for operating in 'the US'. Why would Trump care what they do in China with WeChat. Ming Chi Kuo, though is generally right, but actually hastened this time just to make a prediction.

Can be bad for Apple company. But for customers it isn't that bad unless they increase prices. No Apple for me. I like Google and Microsoft.

Facebook, Google, Twitter... moreLol. Don't forget the Q at the end.
Don't believe in mainstream media? How do you define what is mainstream? You mean, whatever brings you facts that you disagree with, right? I'd bring you facts that show that more actual Americans wanted his opponent to win, but that's a mainstream media fact, amirite?
I'm just a Canadian, eating popcorn as I watch our southern neighbors tear each other apart. It just about satisfies my cravings for schadenfreude.

When your soccer team cannot beat your rival's soccer team.. you cry fowl, accuse them of taking drugs and ban the winning team.
Just like when your classmates get better scores then you, you accuse them of faking it, because you yourself find the exam extremely hard. (Actually very easy to pass)
