While I agree that Whatsapp is the dominant chat app in Asia, it's not number 1 everywhere.

Notably - as you mentioned - Wechat in China, but also Kakao in Korea, Zalo in Vietnam and Line in Japan and Taiwan, where very few people use Whatsapp.

Agree with this one. Only local startup can compete whatsapp. Asia, rusia and africa.
In my experience, most people in Taiwan use both Whatsapp and Line
