WeChat's Red Envelope
When visiting the booth of Tencent Holdings, Xi showed interest in WeChat Red Envelope and he asked Tencent staff members at the expo: "How many WeChat red envelopes did you grab during the Spring Festival?" The game of giving red envelopes online was invented by WeChat during the 2014 Spring Festival in order to gain new mobile payment users.
Pony Ma, chairman and CEO of Tencent, also spoke about booking a doctor online, among other things.
