Twitter owner’s rebranding is part of larger strategy to add payment functionality and more
Daily life in Chinese cities is nearly impossible to navigate without WeChat, to the extent that being barred from the country’s super-app has been likened to a “digital death”.

It is owned by the Chinese tech giant Tencent.
