Social media in China, these are the ones that cross borders
There are many, increasingly, Chinese social networks, as users continue to demand the content offered in them, however, there are only a few that succeed in China and also around the world and they are the following:
1 TikTok, Chinese short video social network
This social network is known as the Chinese Short Video App. What happens is that the more popularity it reaches outside, the faster we forget where it was created. Also called Douyin in China, it is an application that allows users to create, share and view short (3–15 second) music videos. Longer videos can also be created from 30 to 60 seconds.
2 QQ/Qzone, instant messaging
Qzone (QQ), with its iconic penguin, is one of the most popular Chinese social networks for internet users. It is an instant messaging platform that adds more and more active users every day. Anyone who registers on it will be able to send and receive messages just as they would on other platforms such as Facebook, Messenger or WhatsApp.
QQ has an international version that works in English and also allows translation into other languages.
