These types of applications come and go. That a Chinese company made a popular one shouldn't be shocking or indicate some major breakthrough.

You can say the same of FB, Instagram, etc but coming to the "top top" is not an easy task and give you leverage for launching the next app. But you missed my other observation: it was difficult for Chinese companies to launch western attractive apps, you can take TikTok as an outlier or lucky app or you can be alert of the things that might come next.
Sure. And I'll remain just as guarded (nervous) by the next fad social app underwritten, coopted by a government.
