Amazing breakdown. As someone who is familiar with WeChat, I think people don't realize just how deep the security runs and how much integration there is with the Chinese state. Absolute security, granted by the state is a large part why Chinese citizens are confident putting entire paychecks and buying houses through WeChat. Given Elon's previous patterns of disregarding security, I'm doubtful of whether he can achieve the same level of trust

I admire writers who do a thorough job of research and then make the story interesting. I read this long piece because I appreciate history. The word "Twitter" in the headline almost lost me because I'm one of the many who tried Twitter for a week, ended it, and never considered it again.
