But Sina Weibo has remained competitive by making a number of strategic partnerships that have given host to an array of new functions, many of which go even beyond those of Twitter - which is blocked in China. In 2014, e-commerce giant Alibaba, which owns a 31.4% stake of Weibo, helped boost the platform's e-commerce capabilities with the introduction of "Weibo Payment", enabling users to shop online using the service.</span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /> <span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">.</span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /> <span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">But with WeChat heavily investing in similar capabilities last year, Weibo made a perhaps daring move to introduce live streaming capabilities to its platform.</span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /> <span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">.</span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /> <span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">It had earlier shied away from replicating Twitter in doing this, given that the Chinese government is nervous about politically sensitive issues reaching widespread awareness.</span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /> <span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">.</span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /> <span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Twitter is blocked in China, along with Facebook,Google, YouTube and many foreign news websites.</span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /> <span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">.</span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /> <span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">The number of people actively using Twitter has continued to rise by about 6% each month, but in April it revealed that its revenue from advertising had fallen by almost 8% in the space of a year.</span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /> <span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">.</span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /> <span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Chief executive Jack Dorsey said the company "continued to face revenue headwinds", but that user numbers had increased in part because of measures to reduce abusive content.</span>
