So WeChat had its annual devcon event yesterday, theme: Always Beta. Total transactions via mini apps: $115Bn, which is huge. There are now over 1mm mini apps, and over 20mm official accounts.

A lot of the "economic impact" calcs I find to be fluff (citing M0, M1?!), so won't be translating, but some specific examples I liked were:
WeChat pay now serves 50mm+ small biz / sole proprietors, covering over 79.4% of the latter

Top 6 industries transaction volume breakdown by industry:
42% retail
20% F&B
18% transportation
10% education
8% healthcare
2% government
Unclear why they just chose the top 6, and no idea what this constitutes as % of total, so no need to read too much into it.

Skipping the many graphs that would need way too many footnotes to explain ... this one is a simple and good one:
% of hospitals in China with WeChat service accts: 60%
Time saved per head waiting in line: 43.6 mins
NICE. Straightforward positive impact.
