What did WeChat say in response to banning DingTalk? Why did WeChat ban DingTalk?

On March 3, many places reported that the "Health Code" could not be opened on WeChat.

Alibaba, the technical provider of the "Health Code", verified the news: "The reason is that WeChat has completely blocked the domain name of DingTalk, causing the health codes of 24 provinces and cities including Zhejiang to be unable to be accessed normally on WeChat."

According to reports, a sample survey was conducted in the 24 provinces and cities where the health code has been implemented, and it was found that the health code could not be opened through WeChat. But yesterday, it could be opened as usual.

On February 13, the Hangzhou Municipal Government held a press conference and released the Hangzhou Health Code, which supports the opening of multiple ports such as WeChat, Alipay, and DingTalk to facilitate citizens to collect it.

In response, Tencent said: After verification, the DingTalk domain name dingtalk.com is currently accessible normally; the Hangzhou health code cannot be directly redirected because the code is marked with password-type information, triggering 17 "special identification codes, password-type information" in the "WeChat External Link Management Specifications". WeChat has suggested that the service provider make adjustments, and access can be restored after the adjustment.

As of press time, Hangzhou’s “Health Code” has been unblocked after testing by scanning the QR code on WeChat.
