Wang Yon · Journal of Kunming University of Science and Technology · 2014
WeChat has turned out to be a hot issue in academic fields in China in the past two years. Researches on WeChat mainly focus on the following three aspects: first,the ontology issue focusing on its attributes and propagation? characteristics; second,its functional problem,mainly focusing on its social functions and effects; third,its application,focusing on its workability and applicability in business,government and administration. WeChat research in China has been practice- oriented,multi- layered and multidisciplinary,and at the same time it has the problems of being superficial,utilitarian and hysteretic. The paper thus suggests that the future WeChat research in China can be developed and deepened from the relationship between WeChat and the public expression,WeChat and the public opinions,WeChat crime and its governance,and overseas WeChat development.
