China's most popular social network platform WeChat has been extending its footprint outside its home. In the first quarter of 2025, Hong Kong, United States, and Singapore were other important markets for WeChat, collecting a combined in-app purchase revenue of over three million U.S. dollars. The Chinese equivalent of WhatsApp offers a wide range of functions outside of messaging, such as mobile payment and e-commerce.
