What does this mean for China? You should be sharing your WeChat messages not just with your friends and family, but also with Donald Trump? Its not like you have a facebook page, and Wechat doesn't really work like Facebook (it isn't really suited to wide spread sharing, although some people try to do that).

WeChat still has user profile pages (and probably public posts on there?), even if most people don't use them much. Probably a case of making that public.
