"If WeChat is banned, then there will be no reason why Chinese shall keep iPhone and apple products”, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian tweeted.

Zhao had also said on Thursday "many Chinese people are saying they may stop using iPhones if WeChat is banned in the US", and accused the US of "systematic economic bullying of non-US companies" by targeting the Chinese app.

The comments mark a rare direct reference by Beijing to boycotting an American product and come as the superpowers spar on multiple fronts including military activity in the South China Sea, Hong Kong and blame for the coronavirus, Bangkok Post reported.

Chinese social media users on Friday responded with mixed feelings to Zhao's warning on Twitter, which is blocked in China but accessible through virtual private network software.
