Recently, the creator economy has become highly competitive, and many individuals attempt to establish careers as digital influencers or a distinctive job in China. As soon as major Western platforms such as YouTube and Instagram are saturated, many creators begin to seek alternative venues. One of such places that still seems to be a mystery and yet appears to be very promising is social<\/a> media in China. To any expat in China, it is not about whether China is relevant but whether he or she can become a content creator in China and succeed here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
