5 Ways Digital Habits in China Are Unlike Anywhere Else

Stephen Tseng

5 reasons why user behaviors in China are different.

1. Rarely use text messages or email in daily life

What do they use instead of text messages and email?

Answer: WeChat

2. Use Alipay and WeChat Pay mainly to pay online/offline.

I was in Shanghai last year.

I didn’t spend any of the cash I brought.

99% of the transactions were done through WeChat Pay.

3. One app rules all.

Yes, you can do many things on WeChat

Text messages, sending files, social network, voice/video calls, e-commerce, short-form videos, webinars….and more.

4. Convenience first

People value convenience more than other things.

WeChat is an example.

5. Mix personal and professional life

People use Facebook for friends and LinkedIn for business in the US.
