China’s Short-Video App Users Top 1 Billion

What’s new: China’s short-video app users rose 8.3% in 2022 to 1.012 billion, a figure that makes up nearly 95% of all people with online access in the country, according to a report released Wednesday.

The total also accounts for more than 70% of the country’s population at the end of 2022.

Users spent on average 168 minutes — or more than 2.5 hours — per day on the service last year, according to the report, which was released at a convention co-hosted by the National Radio and Television Administration and the Sichuan provincial government.
