Most influential official accounts on WeChat 2024
For millions of Chinese users, WeChat is more than a messaging app. It is a multi-purpose social media offering the latest news and useful information. Many TV stations, radios, newspapers, and online news outlets have created a WeChat official account, similar to a Facebook brand page, to publish their content. In December 2024, Shanghai TV had the most influential official account on WeChat — News Channel (stvxwf). Based on the total number of posts, the overall content performance, and the impact of its trending posts, News Channel scored 1011.9 points in the influence index on WeChat.
