m**c 发帖数: 7349 | 1 Zhihu, meaning “Do you know?” in classical Chinese, started in 2011 as a
copycat of Quora, an American site. It is now China’s most popular question
-and-answer portal, with 100m monthly active users (compared with Weibo’s
261m and WeChat’s 800m).
It has evaded some of the strictures suffered by other forums because it is
neither a news site nor a means of exchanging salacious videos (a new
preoccupation for regulators, who recently called for 24-hour monitoring of
live-streaming sites).
Zhihu targets young urban professionals, who in China tend to be more
willing than others to comment o sensitive topics. In January Zhihu users
expressed doubts about the reliability of a televised confession made by a
bookseller from Hong Kong, Gui Minhai, who is being detained by Chinese
police for selling gossipy books about the country’s leaders. |
