Weibo, China's popular microblogging platform, boasts a diverse user base across the country. In 2024, third-tier cities led the way with 21 percent of Weibo users, followed closely by new first-tier cities at 20 percent. This distribution highlights the platform's broad appeal beyond just the largest metropolitan areas, reflecting China's rapid urbanization and digital connectivity growth. Launched in 2009, Weibo has evolved into China's leading microblogging site, combining features from X (formerly Twitter) and Facebook.
