The world champion has dominated the headlines over the past month – crashing, winning, finishing third at Milan-San Remo and signing up for his debut Paris-Roubaix. The Toms look back on all the cycling in March, asking whether the Classics have become more dangerous, if Lorena Wiebes deserves more credit as one of the all-time greats, and if Matthew Brennan's nickname really is the 'Binman' (spoiler: it's not). They then cast their predictions for the upcoming cobbled Monuments – the Tour of Flanders and Paris-Roubaix – where Tom 2 believes Mathieu van der Poel will fire blanks.

Årets første monument blev en af de helt store årgange af Milano-Sanremo. Mathieu van der Poel vandt løbet foran en stærkt kæmpende Filippo Ganna og en evigt angribende Tadej Pogacar.

Jonas Vingegaard har afsløret, at han døjer med eftervéerne af en hjernerystelse fra Paris-Nice, mens hans unge holdkammerat Matthew Brennan ser ud til at have fået sit helt store gennembrud, senest med en vanvittig etapesejre i Katalonien Rundt.

Tải app để trải nghiệm ngay!--Cuối năm 2017, chúng ta chứng kiến sự nổi lên của Douyin, một ứng dụng đến từ Trung Quốc, và ảnh hưởng của nó. Mọi người bắt đầu xem những đoạn video ngắn khi chờ tàu điện ngầm và quay những đoạn video ngắn trên đường phố. Dân mạng bắt đầu trao đổi về các tài khoản mà họ yêu thích, và một số người bắt đầu nổi tiếng từ nền tảng này. Nhiều bài hát trở nên siêu nổi tiếng chỉ sau một đêm và tất cả là nhờ Douyin. Mười tám tháng sau, những câu chuyện tương tự bắt đầu xuất hiện trên toàn cầu. Douyin và phiên bản quốc tế của nó - TikTok, đã vươn lên đỉnh cao thành công ngoài sức tưởng tượng. Hai ứng dụng này trở thành hiện tượng toàn cầu, vượt xa cả những ước mơ hoang đường nhất của đội ngũ sáng lập.Tác giả Matthew Brennan đã viết cuốn sách này với một hành trình kỳ lạ trong vòng 9 tháng. Từ những câu chuyện riêng tư bắt đầu vào năm 2018, tác giả biết rằng ByteDance hoàn toàn nhận thức được những rủi ro chính trị đang leo thang khi họ là một công ty Trung Quốc hoạt động ở Mỹ và các thị trường phương Tây. Tuy nhiên, anh không viết cuốn sách này để bổ sung vào vô số bài báo chuyên đi sâu mổ xẻ các đối thủ địa chính trị và vấn đề “chiến tranh lạnh trong lĩnh vực công nghệ” mà TikTok đang tham gia. Thay vào đó, cuốn sách này đưa ra các câu hỏi: Tại sao lại là TikTok? Tại sao lại là ByteDance? Tại sao lại là video ngắn?Bạn sẽ tìm thấy những miêu tả chi tiết, chính xác và thú vị về sự phát triển của ByteDance với tư cách là một công ty tư nhân, bao gồm cả lực lượng cạnh tranh với các nhà cung cấp dịch vụ internet đối lập thủ. Về cơ bản, cuốn sách này sẽ dẫn dắt độc giả khám phá định dạng video ngắn và công cụ xuất đề tự động, vốn là hai xu hướng internet quan trọng nhất trong thời gian qua.--Tìm hiểu thêm về Fonos: https://fonos.vn/Theo dõi Facebook Fonos: https://www.facebook.com/fonosvietnam/

On episode 32 of Really Weird Stuff, we're discussing Twin Peaks: The Return, Part One - "My Log Has a Message for You". This episode was written by David Lynch and Mark Frost, and directed by David Lynch. It originally aired May 21, 2017 on Showtime. This episode is best known for being the long-anticipated, much-rumored third season of Twin Peaks. It takes place 25 years after we left the real Dale Cooper in the lodge with his doppelgänger on the loose out in the world. It was also miraculously filmed 25 years later, and that's only one of the myriad coincidences that makes this thing feel serendipitous and inevitable. Special guest, Two Thangs (a.k.a. Matthew Brennan, IV) joins us to explore such mysteries as: WHY is Tracy gagging to get into that secret room with Sam?WHERE did the security guard go?HOW does Marjorie not know her address (or much of anything)?WHAT does Matt have to do to get eyebrows like Otis?PLUS: Kyle MacLachlan is a character actor in the body of a matinee idol!Find Two Thangs and his amazing art on the socials @two.thangs. You can order custom pop culture art for yourself, unique merch featuring previous commissioned paintings, and pre-order his coffee table book, "Anythang & Everythang", which will come out August 2024. This episode is dedicated to Catherine Coulson and Bob Silva.https://www.reallyweirdstuffpod.cominsta: @reallyweirdstuffpod twitter: @reallyweirdpod facebook: @reallyweirdstuffpodcast email: reallyweirdstuffpod@gmail.com

Laura y Santiago, que inicialmente le tenían pereza a TikTok, abrieron su cuenta y se leyeron todo un libro para darle sentido a la app que más rápido ha crecido en los últimos años. Este episodio habla sobre algoritmos, la democratización del video y la llegada de gigantes chinos al Internet global. El libro «The Attention Factory» es la gran fuente de esta conversación.  Este episodio es traído a ti gracias a:  ▸La Tienda del Café.

Notas del episodio:  Según el estudio «The Fastest Growing Brands of 2020», de Morning Consult,  TikTok fue la tercera marca que más creció del 2020, después de Zoom y Peacock. «Attention Factory: The Story of TikTok and China's ByteDance», de Matthew Brennan. Este libro es central, de ahí sacamos la mayoría de datos que compartimos en la conversación.  Entrevista a Matthew Brennan. Usamos para sacar un par de citas en audio, pero toda la conversación sobre su libro es interesante. Zhang Yiming es el fundador de ByteDance, la empresa que creó TikTok. El primer gran éxito de ByteDance fue la aplicación Toutiao, que se enfoca en reunir noticias. La aplicación original para videos cortos con música no fue TikTok ni Musical.ly sino Mindie. Este video con el fundador es una joya.  «¿Qué es Musical.ly?» En 2017 ByteDance compró Music.ly y al poco tiempo los usuarios de esta plataforma pasaron a ser parte de TikTok. «The Inside Story Of TikTok's Tumultuous Rise—And How It Defeated Trump» En TikTok es muy fácil hacer videos y hay una cultura de «remix», de copiar y transformar. Este video lo dice mucho mejor que nosotros.

The likes of Alibaba, Tencent, and Pinduoduo have managed to rise as tech giants in China but have failed to leverage this dominance and influence to a global scale. One such company that has managed to strip away from that label and is successful in expanding overseas and in branding its product as a global pass is ByteDance. But, what has enabled it to do what most Chinese companies have not been able to do? We dive deep into answering these questions. What is the key differentiator of ByteDance compared to other prominent video-platform players? What breakthroughs has ByteDance overcome to flourish worldwide? What takeaways can be extracted from the gala of TikTok's global success?

This episode is a look back at all of our podcast guests and the topics we covered in 2020, putting together some of our favorite moments for you into one single episode of goodness. The guests featured in this special episode are William Bao Bean, episode 22 released on January 7th; Scott Silverman, episode 28 released on January 31st; Scott Laprise, episode 34 released on March 6th; Dr. Julie Klinger, episode 42 released on April 13th; Gen Kanai, episode 54 released on July 17th; Wei Liang, episode 55 released on July 28th; James McGregor, episode 57 released on August 17th; Anne Stephenson Yang, episodes 58 & 59 released on August 25th and September 1st; Aynne Kokas, episode 61 released on September 16th; Kevin Xu, episodes 66 & 67 released October 27th and November 3rd; and Matthew Brennan, episodes 72 & 73 released December 8th and 15th.

Topics Discussed and Key Points:●      What is the “middle platform” and how does it benefit ByteDance?●      Other innovations by ByteDance that other companies are trying to imitate●      TikTok versus Snapchat, and why the former is thriving while the latter is dying●      Up-and-coming tech companies to keep an eye on●      Why Oracle attempted to partner with TikTok●      The future of TikTok in the U.S. with a Biden administration in place●      Why America is seen as a high-risk market in China●      The ramifications of Jack Ma's speech on the Ant IPO Episode Summary:Today on The Negotiation, we continue our conversation with Matthew Brennan, a highly sought-after speaker on Chinese internet and tech innovation, with a particular focus on WeChat and ByteDance. He is also the author of Attention Factory: The Story of TikTok and China's ByteDance (2020).Matthew is the Co-Founder of China Channel, which “provides digital marketing services for brands wishing to perform better on WeChat and China's digital ecosystem.” China Channel also organizes “China's largest WeChat marketing conference series for international companies, China Channel delivers regular presentations, workshops, trainings and events globally about WeChat.”The “middle platform”, first conceptualized by Jack Ma and Alibaba, is a third-party group that does the “heavy lifting” in terms of technology and resource management. ByteDance's apps can all plug into this central service called the middle platform, allowing these resources to be shared and ensuring no overlap between different teams.ByteDance has risen to prominence in the China tech space—and that of the world, by extension—through a myriad of innovations, from launching their unique internal tools as a product, selling their recommendation algorithm ala “recommendation as a service”, and their various avenues for growth hacking.Listen in as Matthew goes on to discuss the importance of how psychology can inform the potential success (or failure) of a social platform, other tech companies in China set to explode soon as ByteDance did, make sense of Oracle's decision to partner with TikTok, and what a Biden administration (as well as current, strained U.S.-China relations) would mean for the future of TikTok and ByteDance as a whole. Key Quotes:“It wasn't always obvious that TikTok would be so successful because they almost ruined it in the early days.” “When it comes to apps such as TikTok or Snapchat, it's really important to understand the psychology behind these applications. It says so much about them and where the opportunity is in terms of business.” “When you speak to entrepreneurs and VCs on the ground in China, nobody really wants to invest in America anymore. It's too risky. They don't want to launch apps there. They just see it as a high-risk market.”

He is also the author of Attention Factory: The Story of TikTok and China's ByteDance (2020).Matthew is the Co-Founder of China Channel, which “provides digital marketing services for brands wishing to perform better on WeChat and China's digital ecosystem.” China Channel also organizes “China's largest WeChat marketing conference series for international companies, China Channel delivers regular presentations, workshops, training, and events globally about WeChat.”Matthew says that his interest in digital innovation in China transcends geopolitics. Since writing his book, there has been a swell of controversy around TikTok as the U.S. and India worked to ban the popular social media app. Matthew, however, would rather focus on the bigger picture that is the trajectory this opens up for internet usage, globally. Short video is changing the way we use the internet, we are only in the early stages of this new trend.Listen in as Matthew goes on to share how ByteDance and TikTok came to be and how they sparked massive innovation in the mobile landscape, as well as how ByteDance compares to China's other tech giants today and what the future holds. Key Quotes:“I do believe that short video is a very important trend for internet usage, globally. What TikTok provides is a new way that people are using the internet, and it's not going away.” “China is all about mobile. It's an app economy. People don't tend to use browsers that much. Browser usage is very low in China.” “ByteDance has the potential to be a viable option to the Facebook and Google duopoly around online advertising globally.”

In episode 334, Matthew Brennan returned to discuss his new book "Attention Factory: The Story of Tik Tok & China's ByteDance". Matthew began with the inspiration and the key themes behind the first English book specifically focused on ByteDance, observing the rise of the company. He discuss the backstory of Zhang Yiming, founder of ByteDance and how he learned from his past experiences to build Toutiao first before embarking on Douyin that eventually led to Tik Tok. Last but not least, Matthew debunked the common misconceptions on Tik Tok and ByteDance, explained how their business models work and offered a glimpse to the challenges ahead for the company in the near future. Here are the interesting show notes and links to the discussion: Matthew Brennan, Co-founder of China Channel and author of “ (chinachannel.co, @mbrennanchina , Linkedin, Wechat:Yowdy-CQ) As the highest recurring guest on the podcast, it’s great to welcome you back. First question: what have you been up to since our last conversation? “Attention Factory - The Story of Tik Tok and China’s ByteDance” by Matthew Brennan What is the inspiration behind writing this book? What are the key themes for this book? Who are the major audiences that you want to target in this book? Tik Tok and ByteDance are often characterized by Western commentators and media as a threat to Facebook, Twitter and even to the US government itself. What are the key misconceptions about Tik Tok and ByteDance?  Probably this is the first book which dives in depth into the background of Zhang Yiming, the founder of Bytedance, and the surprise is that he used to work for China’s twitter clone, Fanfou (started by Wang Xing, now founder and CEO of Meituan-Dianping) and was shut down by the authorities. Can you elaborate more on his background and his stint as a CEO with another startup called 99Fang before coming to ByteDance? What has 99Fang taught Zhang Yiming in the process? After he resigned from 99Fang, he started ByteDance and it was not with Tik Tok that he started his foray. He did Toutiao, can you talk about the design concepts and what Toutiao taught the ByteDance team? One can think of the success of Tik Tok in three stages: Douyin in China, acquisition of Musical.ly and then expanding globally across the decade of 2010 to 2020. Let’s start with Douyin first, how did the app cross the chasm to drive users? Tencent has tried to challenge Douyin on the homeground with Weishi, what did they get wrong and why have they failed to challenge Tik Tok?  What are the key business models for Tik Tok and Douyin from ByteDance? How does the app bring revenues to the company? How are the apps localized or globalized to ensure a better user experience?  There are different ways to look at Tik Tok. One interesting insight was from Eugene Wei’s recent article “Tik Tok and the Sorting Hat”, where Tik Tok does not need the social graph but rather rely on the recommendation engine algorithm to push the interests of the user, which makes Tik Tok a more direct competitor to Youtube. What are your thoughts on how one should think of Tik Tok as a mobile app or social network or video network? Probably, we should talk about what happened to Tik Tok in the US this year. They have hired Kevin Mayer, former head of Disney+ and then Donald Trump threatened to shut them down, and first there was supposed to be an acquisition from Microsoft, but ended up with Oracle and Walmart clinching a partnership deal. Can you share your thoughts on what happened and where this is likely to go before & after the US elections? What are the key challenges you see for ByteDance in the coming year? Closing Do you have any recommendations that have recently inspired you? Where can our audience find you and your new book “Attention Factory”?

Do you let fear get in the way of making a decision? 6 questions. 7 minutes. Pure insights. Episode 137: Don't let your fear get in the way of making a decision. Wise words from Matthew Brennan, CEO of Loveland Excavating and Paving, Inc.

Punk singer Matthew Brennan (currently in Deep Pockets) and fellow music nerd Scott Floman (author of The Story Of Rock and Soul Music: Album Reviews and Lists and Greatest Underrated Guitar Solos) have joined forces to talk about music. The first several episodes will feature NCAA Tournament type brackets (one each for the '60s, '70s, '80s, and '90s) that will attempt to determine the greatest rock band/solo artist of all-time. We spent a fair amount of time on choosing which of the 64 bands/solo artists should be entered, the seedings/match ups, and of course the winners, but the actual conversations about the match ups was 100% spontaneous, and we did minimal editing afterwards (Matt did all the technical work there so thanks Matt!). In other words, what you hear is what you get, but we'll try to correct some obvious mistakes we made via the Notes section below. Matchups for this episode: (1) The Beatles vs. (16) Crosby, Stills & Nash (& Sometimes Young) (2) Elvis Presley vs. (15) Cream (3) Bob Dylan vs. (14) The Byrds (4) The Rolling Stones vs. (13) The Doors (5) Jimi Hendrix vs. (12) The Band (6) The Beach Boys vs. (11) The Velvet Underground (7) The Who vs. (10) Simon & Garfunkel (8) The Kinks vs. (9) Creedence Clearwater Revival Notes for this episode: To be clear, we slotted bands in particular decades based on when they peaked artistically (though we made some exceptions for the '80s which you'll see later). However, the winner of each match up is based on their entire career, not just that decade. Scott completely botches the word “coronavirus”! Scott incorrectly contradicts Matt about how the winners of each match up are chosen. Ignore that part! The winners were somewhat objectively picked, though obviously our personal preferences will inevitably come into play as well. Scott incorrectly called Elvis' “Can't Help Falling In Love” by the title “Can't Stop Falling In Love” – same sentiment but wrong word. Scott completely botches trying to say “sadomasochism” – should've just stuck with S&M! Scott incorrectly said that David Crosby left The Byrds during the recording of the fourth album. He was thinking of the right album, but The Notorious Byrd Brothers was actually the fifth Byrds album, not fourth (that was Younger Than Yesterday – both of these are Scott's favorite Byrds albums, BTW). Most of Cream's studio songs were 3-4+ minutes, not 2 minutes. And by pioneering live improvisation, we meant specifically for rock bands; that practice was already common for jazz bands. Cream was also one of the first power trios which we failed to mention. When talking about The Band-Dylan connection, we should've mentioned The Basement Tapes as well (though maybe we do so in a later episode). Also, although The Band peaked early on the first two albums, they did have other high-quality albums thereafter as well. Nico was only on the first Velvet Underground album (not “albums”) called The Velvet Underground & Nico. The original “I Heard It Through The Grapevine” was actually by Gladys Knight & The Pips, the more classic version everyone is familiar with by Marvin Gaye came after that. When discussing The Who's live prowess we should've also mentioned Live At Leeds, considered by many to be the greatest live album ever.

Professional journalist and copywriter Matthew Brennan joins us today to have a conversation about balancing work, life, and productivity in the pandemic.

In episode 324, Rui Ma, co-host of Tech Buzz China podcast and a trusted voice on China Tech joined us on a conversation to dive deeper on the anonymous report that unveiled Luckin Coffee's recent debacle. We start with a quick history of Luckin Coffee with Rui Ma breaking down the backstory on how Luckin Coffee's alleged fraud came to light and the impact after the fallout. Rui Ma dived deeper beyond the original story with an analysis of the anonymous report entitled "Luckin Coffee: Fraud + Fundamentally Broken Business". Last but not least, she discussed the implications of Luckin Coffee's debacle and how investigative reporting and corporate activism will impact the public listings of Chinese companies in the US. Here are the interesting show notes and links to the discussion (with time-stamps included): Rui Ma, Creator & Host of Tech Buzz China podcast by Pandaily produced by SupChina (LinkedIn, @ruima) [0:26] Since our last conversation, what have you been up to? [0:30] Luckin Coffee Debacle [1:36] Disclaimer: The information provided here by our host and guest are not here to encourage buying or selling any equities mentioned here and investing is strictly our audience’s own responsibility. So, please do your homework.  Origins of Luckin Coffee has been covered by Matthew Brennan in Episode 279 and it was starting to challenge Starbucks Cafe in China two years back. Highly recommended: Rui Ma and Ying Ying Lu in Techbuzz China Episode 65 (Extra Buzz Special): Luckin’s luck ran out To help our audience, Luckin Coffee (瑞幸咖啡) started off with the on demand delivery model and did not have physical stores similar to Starbucks. Then it started scaling up by burning investment cash and building physical stores. The investors came from a variety of sources (according to CB Insights): venture capital (JOY Capital), asset management fund (BlackRock), private equity (Centurium Capital), China International Capital Corporation or CICC (investment bank) and GIC (the sovereign wealth fund in Singapore).   Let’s start from today and work backwards to what happened that led to alleged fraud of Luckin Coffee being announced by the company. How was alleged fraud for Luckin Coffee come to public attention? (Source: Luckin Coffee’s filing of 6K) [3:04] What was the alleged fraud about and how much has been uncovered? [4:23] Who are the people behind the alleged fraud? [5:27] What is the impact given the announcement of the alleged fraud by Luckin Coffee, from stock crashing to customers rushing to claim their coffee? (Source: SCMP) [7:08] Luckin Coffee has been a strange story in China. What is the business model that led to them going public? [9:11] The Anonymous Report titled “Luckin Coffee: Fraud + Fundamentally Broken Business” [11:40] Citing the Extra Buzz Newsletter #7: “The report was very extensive 89 pages, utilized 92 full time, 1418 part time staff on the ground who recorded 11,000 hours of video, which is almost 3 years worth of store days covering 620 stores in 38 different cities.” Basically, it is this report that fanned the flames for Luckin Coffee in their present state. However, there’s a lot of confusion of who did the report, for example, 燃财经 Rancaijing and Muddy Waters leeched off from the report (and somehow Western Media mistakenly attributed to them). So, the first question, what are the key facts behind the report? [12:24] The report have two interesting parts titled “The Fraud” and “The Fundamentally Broken Business Model”. Let start from the first part “The Fraud”, what are the key smoking gun evidence and red flags cited that led to the alleged fraud claim in the report?  What are the business model flaws cited in the report that claims that Luckin Coffee has the fundamentally business model? [15:16] Let’s zero in to one key red flag from the “Fraud” section: “Number of items per store per day inflated by 69% in 2019 3Q and 88% in 2019 4Q, supported by 11,260 hours of store traffic video”, can you explain how the report presents its investigation and use the numbers to get to the conclusion? [18:44] The anonymous report took a very strong look at the unit economics of Luckin Coffee (Business Flaw #3) at page 78: what are the key arguments from the report that establish that Luckin Coffee is not able to be profitable? [20:40] With such a construction of an elaborate report and this entire episode can be turned into a “Billions” TV series episode (by Showtime), the $1m dollar question: who is behind the report and what is their motivation behind it? [24:06] Aftermath  Who benefits from the entire Luckin Coffee’s debacle? [25:44] The hedge funds Starbucks in China, given that 30% of their revenues came from China before Luckin’s entrance to challenge them.  One interesting consequence of this Luckin Coffee episode, is the quality of investigative reporting for corporate fraud in China. The anonymous report took a lot of effort in constructing the actual picture by people going undercover to find out the actual numbers. We notice that this is getting better whenever each scandal pops up in the market. Does that mean that we will see more of these exposes? [27:16] What are your first thoughts when the report was first released into the public? [30:00] Do you think that how Chinese companies should do to dispel myths or being challenged about their businesses? [31:48] What do you think that the US investor learn from this episode? [33:30] Do you think that the English and US media have reported the Luckin Coffee narrative properly? [35:47] Closing [37:52] Rui Ma's recommendation: Dan Grover "How Chinese Apps Handled COVID-19" Carol's video on how millennials cope with COVID-19 with the apps on their smart phone.

HBO's “Succession” wears its contempt for the billionaire class on its sleeve. Back for its second season, heroes are in short supply while an ensemble of entertainingly loathsome and amoral characters backstab and sabotage each other as they battle for power and control within a global media empire. The scheming family serve as stand-ins for the Murdochs or the Redstones. But the siblings' angling for affection and love of their father has distinct echoes of President Trump's adult offspring.“Succession” takes you inside the privileged bubble of the .1 percent without glorifying that lifestyle.The critically acclaimed series was nominated for five Emmys, including best drama, and Times TV editor Matthew Brennan (@thefilmgoer) says it's the show you need to watch this summer.Mark Olsen (@IndieFocus) talks with Brennan and Meredith Blake (@MeredithBlake) about the show that's hitting the political and cultural zeitgeist right on the nose.

Matt Brennan, professional speaker and co-host of China Tech Talk, comes on the show to discuss the history and evolution of China's most popular app, WeChat, as well as threats on the horizon for the company that created it, Tencent. 

In Ep. 21 of TechBuzz China, co-hosts Ying-Ying Lu and Rui Ma talk about the new messaging app, Bullet Messenger, which took the Chinese internet by storm and reached five million registered users in just eleven days. The key question is: is this a true challenger to WeChat? Or is it more of a short-lived, false alarm without real long-term potential? Listeners will also hear expert analysis from Matthew Brennan, a speaker and writer focused on Chinese mobile internet who can be found at @mbrennanchina and on the podcast China Tech Talk. Rui and Ying-Ying start by delving into a crucial quality about Bullet which has been overlooked in English language coverage: the incredible power and reach of its angel investor and best spokesperson, Luo Yonghao. Luo is a former English teacher who gained a cult following thanks to his entertaining sayings and charisma in the classroom. He took his cultural capital and went into smartphones, creating the brand Smartisan, which released its first phone in May 2014. Smartisan formerly employed a senior product manager named Hao Xijie, founder of the company that created Bullet Messenger. Though Hao has made clear that his intention is to disrupt business messaging, media has not been deterred from hailing him as a “WeChat challenger.” Rui and Ying-Ying dig into some of Bullet's features, including its quick voice-to-text function, the ability to reply in threads, and easier management of group chats. However, even with these interesting functions, the big challenge of the app is its lack of contacts-- how is the app going to create overcome the network effects dominance of WeChat? It also has challenges with privacy and with inappropriate content. Even so, the company has already taken on $22 million in funding at a nearly $90 million valuation from Banyan Capital and Chengwei Capital, even before going through the full list of interested investors, which had included Tencent. Listen to the newest episode of TechBuzz China and join our co-hosts in debating: does Bullet have a real chance at disrupting WeChat, or at least take away some of the current use cases of WeChat, the biggest success of Chinese internet in the past decade? Or… is WeChat completely and utterly Bullet-proof? As always, you can find these stories and more at pandaily.com.
