>China banning American services is to the detriment of Chinese users and competition in China, there's no reason to emulate censorship.

This is not true. China financializes everything, and pumps capital into projects at rates unseen and unmatched in the history of the world. There is plenty of competition, as evidenced by the fact that China has apps that are fare more efficient and feature rich than anything in the US. See: WeChat.

You just confused a claim of fact with a personal opinion.

"Efficient" and "feature rich" are close to meaningless when thrown around like that. You can't actually support what you said because it's very heavy on being subjective.

Feature rich is corporate speak for: bloated with garbage that's unnecessary.

Evidence please?

I have long been suspicious of China's financial strategy, and had not found satisfactory sources on this topic.

WeChat has more features than WhatsApp but probably not the Facebook ecosystem. It's also far-fetched to say it's "far more efficient", given Facebook has to serve many more users and doesn't seem slow.

If there is so much competition, why does it all end up in WeChat, the fucking AOL of apps?
