Yep. It's quite clever, actually: chinese people come to other countries, they use wechat, they make friends, their friends want to communicate with them so they start using wechat. It's penetrating other markets that way, slowly but surely.

Don’t forget China can also see what you’re typing in wechat, really boggles my mind people continue to use that. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2012/dec/07/wechat-chinese...

Very slowly, in that case. If you're the only 1 using a messaging service, you're super likely to switch to another one, or just use several.
