DA China WeChat Rules
The Democrats Abroad China WeChat groups are spaces for Americans in China to connect, to support each other in voting from abroad, and to discuss current US events, politics, and policy issues. Members should be aligned with the Democratic Party and have registered with Democrats Abroad.
Chat Group Rules:
1. Keep discussions on topic. As a country committee of the global Democrats Abroad, DACN keeps our discussions related to the Democratic Party and U.S. politics. We also adhere to the PRC’s WeChat Group Discussion regulations. Posts relating to the Chinese government, Chinese politics or policies, or actions taken by China are not allowed.
2. Be respectful. We’re all operating on the same team. Personal attacks, intimidation, ridicule, rude and disruptive comments, comments that perpetuate hate, violence, or prejudice or threats of any kind are not acceptable and may result in temporary removal or expulsion from the group.
If you feel that you have an issue that requires moderation, please contact the DA China Chair (Kim Wong) or DA China Comms Director (Elaine Chow).
