- Weibo Corporation (9898.HK) operates as a leading social media platform in China, enabling users to create, discover, and distribute content through its flagship Weibo microblogging service. The company provides a comprehensive suite of products and services, including advertising and marketing solutions such as customized ad placements and performance-based marketing; value-added services (VAS) encompassing premium memberships, live streaming, video content, trends, search functionalities, editing tools, content customization, and copyright content pooling; and discovery and self-expression tools that facilitate user engagement and content sharing.
