I wrote about the Wechat in this blog once.
I’d like to talk more about the IT industry in China. Maybe you know that we
are lack of innovations. Actually not only Tencent, almost all Chinese internet
companies plagiarize, mostly from US companies. For example, Baidu copies
Google, lots of its products are copies of Google’s, and Facebook, Twitter,
Tumblr, Youtube….all have “students” in China.
Furthermore, the Chinese companies pay
constant attention to their American counterparts, and then take corresponding
actions. But they also have annoyances, which also come from the US companies.
The US companies “create” not only the
Chinese companies, but also “IT Critics”, just like me. These critics also
focus on the US companies’ products. And according to which, they criticize the
Chinese counterparts, who often don’t do well as their teachers.
Just go to IT blogs in China, you can find
this. There are always critics talking about Chinese IT products, they talk by
taking the US products as a reference object.
Actually, apart from lacking innovations, Chinese
companies’ problems also include taking profit as the upmost thing. They do all
the things just for money, which often conflicts with user experience. Maybe they
never learn the essence of their American counterparts.
