12 Ways to Add China People as Your WeChat Friends

As we know, many people are very interested in the China market and that's why they learn WeChat. In fact, for many people, the only reason to use WeChat is to sell to the people from China.

But we know that to sell to people from China, you need to add them as your WeChat friends first. The reason is that China people only use WeChat and nothing else. So even though you have a relative from China, you only can contact him via WeChat, not a phone call, e-mail, Facebook or LinkedIn.

There are 12 ways that anyone, while in Singapore, can easily add people from China as your friends:

1. Add the China people that are physically in Singapore as your friends. They will have contacts with people from China and you can get them to refer their China friends to you. The people from China that are in Singapore include the tourists, businesspeople, those on 30-days visa, work permit workers, employment pass holders, S and E Pass holders, citizens and their family members

2. Log into your QQ account and join groups that are made up of people from China. From here you can add them as QQ friends and later convert them into WeChat friends

3. Attend seminars that are mostly attended by people from China. Like I attended Soheaven's Journey of Creation 2-days life transformation course in September 2017. To-date, I have added at least 300 people from China from the 5 courses that I have attended that are related to Soheaven's course.

4. Go to places in Singapore that have a high density of people from China, eg Marina Bay Sands, Resorts World at Sentosa, Chinatown, Geylang, Jurong Point, China restaurants. You can easily make contacts with these people and add them as friends. Most of them are very happy to have Singaporeans as their WeChat friends

5. Join classes conducted on WeChat. Each WeChat Group has at least 400 to 500 people from China. You can easily add 10 to 20 people from each groupchat. Imagine you join 10 such classes in a month, you would have added easily 1,200 China people in a month

6. Join Groupchats that have people that have connections with people from China

7. Join China people groupchats and you can add people from there

8. Follow Official Accounts that are set up by China people and you can easily add the owner of the Official Accounts as your WeChat friends

9. Search for Mini Programs that are set up by China people and you can add the owner of the mini programs as your Wechat friends

10. Just do a blind search on WeChat via 5 ways: mobile number (China mobile numbers and very systematic, all with 11 digits), People Nearby, common Chinese names (eg Chen Da Wen), common Chinese nicknames and articles

11. Simply ask people to introduce you to people from China

12. Open your heart. You'll realize that there are so many China people everywhere in Singapore. They are at your housing estates, food courts, shopping centres, and even your neighborhood!

If you want to learn to use WeChat like a Pro and get business from China people, you can join our WeChat courses. The special introductory fee is $99 a person or $199 for 3 or $59 each for 5 persons. Related articles on WeChat (click on the title to read)

The Secret Under the Mattress: Why would a 79-year Man Bet So Big on 4D?

It was 2007 when we discovered his secret. While moving my father’s mattress, we found them: heaps and heaps of Singapore Pools 4D tickets. They were stacked in layers, a paper trail of lost hopes. What shocked us most wasn’t just the volume, but the stakes. He wasn’t betting a few dollars for fun. He was punting hundreds of dollars per draw—nearly ten times a month. At the time, my siblings and I were furious. Our father was a 79-year-old retiree. We wondered, with a mix of anger and confusion, why a man at his stage of life would need to win such "big money." What was he going to do with the money? We saw it as a reckless habit, a sign of poor judgment in his final years. Some of us would say, "If I were to give him money to buy 4D, why don't I use the money and buy 4D myself? At least I have better discipline". It has taken me two decades, and the experience of raising my own three grown-up children, to finally see the truth that was hidden under that matt...

Head Bleeding when the Chair Falls

The Weight of Silence: What Were We Really Arguing About? My earliest memories are punctuated by the sound of shouting. In 1970, when I was barely 6 years old, I stood as a small witness to the fierce quarrels between my father and my late eldest brother Kah Yang (he passed away in 1971 at the age of 17). As I grew up, these contradictions became the soundtrack of our lives, usually centered around our family's shoe shop and clothing stalls in Chinatown. In the court of family opinion, the verdict was almost always the same: my father was "wrong." He was judged as a man who didn't fulfill his role, who wasn't "burdening" enough for the family’s success. But as I look back from the vantage point of 2026, I have to ask: Was that actually true? Let me finally put to rest what my father did right: the truths that were buried under decades of criticism: Unseen Labor: He worked grueling, long hours. I remember him hauling boxes of goods and equipment to set u...

You think 'Dear You' is Special? Wait till you watch 'Niu Lai'

The film is 《牛来》 (Niu Lai / The Cow Is Coming ) , an 86-minute Chinese animated film released on 5 August 2026. It was reportedly made by a mother-and-son team over 5 years, mostly hand-made, without sophisticated production technology or AI. The production cost is only RMB 1,680 . Initially, it was a disaster. In its first ten days, it reportedly earned only about RMB7,700 . The animation looked extremely crude, publicity was almost nonexistent, and it appeared destined to disappear. Then something extraordinary happened. The worse people said it was, the more people wanted to see it Pictures and clips began circulating online because the animation looked so amateurish. People mocked it. The mockery went viral. Instead of killing the movie, the criticism became its marketing campaign . People began thinking: “Can it really be THAT bad? I have to see this for myself.” Even cinemas reportedly posted unusually candid warnings about its rough production quality, effectively...
