I was under the impression that WeChat falls under the 0-1 at this point.[0] Although to be fair, marketplaces have existed for centuries. I suppose sometimes it's hard to tell where the line is. They're certainly innovating though.
Baidu, Alibaba, WeChat, Qihoo360, etc.
Although, tbh, Alibaba is pretty unique, and a lot of the video companies in China were dramatically different from stuff I've seen elsewhere. I think "China just copies" is overblown.
The China cheap-hw-production ecosystem is kind of a novel thing just by virtue of scale, too.
