The Australian Financial Review/澳洲金融评论报：

How Australia's best houses are being sold on Chinese social media site WeChat

WeChat is catching on in Australia and after a few days messing around on it, I can see why. The payments function is brilliant, especially for a trigger-happy shopper like myself.

It has also solved the mystery of why I see hundreds of people walking around the city, holding their phones flat and speaking into the bottom like a walkie talkie and then bringing them up to their ear to listen.

Why It Matters That Bill Gates Joined China's Super App WeChat

The billionaire posted a 30-second video on his official account with a short sentence in Chinese welcoming viewers and describing in English the channel’s focus, which Gates said will act as a personal blog with posts about the books he is reading and other thoughts. The video has accumulated more than 100,000 views and 23,300 likes as of February 15.
