it's not hard, let government block all your international competitors and you will see astonishing growth in brainwashed spoon-fed population

only people amazed by wechat are those who never lived in China

next time - Democratic party would like to repeat success of CCP, they get 100% of votes! same goes for railways, all companies in liberalized European market are crying tears and wanna go learn from Chinese state monopoly railways how to win the market

There were quite a few local Chinese competitors to WeChat when it originally launched. It took them almost a year to surpass Xiaomi's MiTalk user numbers.

no, not really, when they launched QQ was big and I was just surprised why some people have different status to find out it's wechat, but anyway QQ was dominating markets, everything else including Xiaomi or MSN had just leftovers
