Chinese teenagers, as a generation growing up under the influence of social media, are communicating and building relationships with different types of people on Chinese social media platforms. As one of the most popular social media platforms among Chinese teenagers, WeChat provides a platform for teenagers to communicate and interact with different types of people.
