At this point in time, TikTok is mostly video right? WeChat is more than just messaging as you know. If TikTok wants to be the next WeChat, it's going to take years and massive amount of investment to get there. At the end of the day, if TikTok builds it, will the users come? If you're in WeChat, what do you gain by going to TikTok?
