Australian MPs to boycott WeChat after it takes over PM Scott Morrison account

According to The Age, the WeChat account of Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison was taken over earlier this month without his consent.

As The Daily Telegraph reported, Morrison’s WeChat account was converted after he last log-out in July. It was set up by a third party in China in 2019 and has accumulated around 76,000 followers before being taken over and renamed into Australian Chinese new life. The account has not updated anything since being taken over.

The Prime Minister’s Office said they had tried to reclaim the account for months but failed. Since a third party established the account for him, it had no ownership rights. The account was later sold to business owner Huang Aiping who was completely unaware that it previously represented Morrison.
