数据显示，由于美国政府继续推进针对WeChat的禁令，微信应用程序在美国的下载量激增，18日至19日，下载安装次数约为5.4万次，是同期下载量的28倍，企业版微信WeCom同期下载量也大幅度增长。上周日，美国一名联邦法官叫停了美国商务部针对WeChat的禁令，但这款腾讯旗下的社交应用仍可能面临美国政府的继续打压。美国商务部周一称，“为了保护美国的国家安全，禁止相关交易是必要的，商务部将很快寻求解除（法官的）裁定。”
Chinese tech giant Tencent's WeChat app has seen a surge in downloads in the United States since Friday after Washington confirmed it would push ahead with a planned ban of the app, data showed on Tuesday. The U.S. Department of Commerce issued an order requiring Apple and Alphabet's Google to remove WeChat for downloads on national security grounds, but a U.S. judge blocked the move on Sunday. The U.S. Commerce Department said on Monday it will challenge the order.
