Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

Weibo, specifically Sina Weibo, is a prominent microblogging platform popularly used in China. Often described as the "Twitter of China" or a mix of Twitter and Facebook, it serves as a primary hub for news, celebrity updates, and public discussion. As of mid-2024, the platform reported approximately 583 million to 605 million monthly active users, making it one of the largest social media markets globally. Unlike private messaging apps like WeChat, Weibo is an open, content-driven platform where trends frequently go viral. Its dominance in the Chinese digital landscape is partly due to government restrictions on Western platforms like Google, Yahoo, and Twitter, which are blocked or restricted within the country [1]. While other Asian nations have their own dominant platforms—such as KakaoTalk in South Korea—Weibo remains exclusive to the Chinese market and its diaspora.
