On October 29, according to disclosures by a Suning.com executive, Suning will launch an application similar to WeChat called "Cloud Message".
The executive stated that Suning will first introduce "Cloud Message" in the Suning.com client. The software supports SMS, voice calls, public account functions, etc. In the future, this software will also become independent and open to social users.
At the same time, Suning disclosed that they sell a large number of hardware products annually, including PCs, TVs, mobile phones, tablet computers, etc. In the future, all these hardware products will be pre-installed with Suning's software.
It is worth noting that, in order to compete with WeChat, this year, China Telecom and NetEase launched a WeChat-like application called "YiXin", while Alibaba began aggressively promoting "LaiWang". However, currently, neither of these applications has posed a threat to WeChat.
