Lesson 137 – Social medias in China
Hello, everyone. Welcome back. This is Baixue’s Chinese
Language Learning Program. Last time we talked about how to use “cái才” and “jiù 就” to make Chinese
sentences. Today, we will talk about social medias in China.
Connections is very important in our life now. And it
also mean “power” in China. Social medias
have become the most important part of the Chinese society. More and more
people in China are using social networking sites, and all of these social
networks are thriving.
Ok, let’s see the top 10 social medias in China.

on the back of the 637 million active accounts for Tencent’s QQ Messenger. With
a QQ account, you can get access to all of Tencent's different services. You
