Ask anything you want about WeChat. Got a question about how the “Moments” feature works? How are “Top Stories” compiled? Live broadcasts? Official Accounts?
有什么关于微信的问题都可以问。对“朋友圈”功能如何运作有疑问吗？ “头条新闻”是如何编制的？现场直播？官方账号？
Payments? If people like me add a couple of hundred renminbi at a time to their “balance”, how much money in total is WeChat actually sitting on at any given moment?
付款？如果像我这样的人一次在“余额”中添加几百元人民币，那么微信在任何特定时刻实际上总共有多少钱？
If there is anything you have always wanted to know about WeChat or the way it works (or doesn’t), now is your chance.
如果您一直想了解有关微信或其工作方式（或不了解）的任何信息，现在就是您的机会。
Questions should be sent to us by email. You ask us; we’ll ask the guy who knows.
