cial medium for consumer entertainment and social networking. As such, video is occupying an increasingly significant portion of users' time.
During the third quarter of 2020, our platforms continue to gain user attraction, usage and engagement. Despite Indian government's measures to block certain Chinese-owned apps in its local market and other geopolitical risks, we achieved rapid growth in other regions and our global MAUs remained relatively stable, sliding only slightly by 4% year-over-year to 390.1 million. Such accomplishment is a result of our unwavering commitment toward globalization, proactive penetration into multiple overseas markets and reduced reliance on any single market. By overcoming geopolitical challenges, we have not only validated our business models' resilience, but also laid a solid foundation for the continued implementation of our global dual-engine growth strategy, driven by live streaming and short-form video.
