Tech giants Alibaba and Dear Utol (2025): Doctor, Doctor I'm Sick Episode 41Tencent appear to have further frosty relations as WeChat users are now allowed to join DingTalk meetings directly via the messaging app, DingTalk announced in a statement on Monday. This move breaks with the previous common practice of banning rivals from sharing links and services on their platforms. WeChat retains only core features, including mute & unmute options, camera control, friends invite, and view meeting members, in an attempt to create a “light, fast, and easy” online meeting experience. The latest development comes shortly after Alibaba-owned Taobao added WeChat Pay as a long-awaited option for shoppers placing orders. [DingTalk, in Chinese]
