The Economist called WeChat \"one app to rule them all\", and as it starts to gain global appeal, it is rewriting the rules for social media platforms. \u003cbr\u003e This book provides a balanced and nuanced study of how the super-sticky WeChat platform interweaves into the fabric of Chinese social, cultural, and political life. It keeps the wider global and national social media landscape in view and compares and contrasts WeChat with Weibo and QQ, two other popular social media platforms in China, and other Western social media platforms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eYujie (\"Julie\") Chen\u003c\/b\u003e, Lecturer, Department of Media, Communication and Sociology, University of Leicester \u003cb\u003eZhifei Mao\u003c\/b\u003e, Lecturer, School of Journalism and Communication, The Chinese University of Hong Kong \u003cb\u003eJack Linchuan Qiu\u003c\/b\u003e, Professor, School of Journalism and Communication, The Chinese University of Hong Kong\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 168\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 x 7.7 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 13, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52696583340339,"sku":"9781787430921","price":117.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/L0GdfaT9qr9781787430921.webp?v=1782919890","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/super-sticky-wechat-and-chinese-society-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
