How it's used
Tencent QQ is often referred to simply as ＱＱ in casual conversation. While it was once the dominant messaging platform in mainland China, its usage in Hong Kong is largely limited to people who need to communicate with contacts across the border. It carries a nostalgic feel for many users who grew up using it during the early internet era.
