### Comment:
But what about the potential for google or another social media company to move in? It feels like a stretch with the political climate, but there have been shifts and gaps in the Chinese government (especially around this trade war) and news of Google reopening their Chinese service.

 Do you think Tencent could compete if western companies are allowed to move in?

### REPLY:
Google isn’t a social media company. If you’re asking about whether messenger or WhatsApp could eat away at WeChat (if allowed in), the answer is probably not since everyone in China has already grown accustomed to WeChat.
