Chinese clone of Vine reaches 160 million views in a single day

While short video sharing apps such as Twitter’s Vine have increasingly won over western fans, Chinese app users have largely limited the majority of their internet communication to static text and images. Tencent’s newest app, Weishi, aims to change this. Similar to Vine, Weishi allows people to share short eight-second videos with their friends, and these clips can be edited with various filters, watermarks and themes.
