We were asked about our usage, views, data, and analysis of the platform’s usage, demographics, business and personal use, trends, and how it contributes to China’s “soft power” influence on the world.

“In Singapore, the user demographic is about 80 per cent female, and largely from the 18 to 35 age group, said Ms June Goh, chief operating officer at MediaOne, citing market research.”
On whether these apps contribute to China’s soft power, MediaOne chief executive Tom Koh pointed out that the notion of what was considered beauty, art or quality entertainment used to be very Hollywood-centric but is increasingly becoming more North Asian.
“Korea is leading with Japan a distant third, but China at second is closing the gap. These notions are changing due to these platforms,” he said.
