Now the Chinese have made a logical step forward and pretty much blocked the application from usage. They did it by blocking the possibility of sending text messages by the app, basically rendering it useless. You still can made video and audio calls with it, but you can just use your phone to do that, so meh. The way the Chinese government ...
