Some of the are always in the list, but others  are well knowns only in te local market, but being so populous countries, mainly in the People's Republic of China, they become great social media in terms of number of users.

Facebook continues to be in the first position and a considerable distance from his first rival, Google Plus. Google's social network has a very low activity between the number of registered users, so maybe that is not its place.

The social media Network in China 

Some of the most popular Social Media in China (and worldwide):

• Sina Weibo is a Chinese microblogging(weibo) website. Akin to a hybrid of Twitter and Facebook, it is one of the most popular sites in China, in use by well over 30% of Internet users, with a similar market penetration that Twitter has established in the USA.
• Qzone is a social networking website, which was created by Tencent in 2005. It permits users to write blogs, keep diaries, send photos, and listen to music. Users can set their Qzone background and select accessories based on their preferences so that every Qzone is customized to the individual member's taste.
• Tencent's diverse services include social networks, web portals, e-commerce, and multiplayer online games. Tencent Weibo is a Chinese microblogging (weibo) website launched by Tencent in April, 2010.
• Youku Inc. is a Chinese video hosting service based in the People's Republic of China, it is the second largest video site in the world with a alexa ranking just after YouTube.
• The Renren Network is a Chinese social networking service that exists as the Chinese remake of Facebook.

• Kaixin001's is a social networking website launched in March, 2008. 

The success of these Chinese social networking websites, can be partly credited to internet censorship in the People's Republic of China. Due to the permanent blockage of other social-networking websites such as Myspace, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube since the summer of 2009 following the Ürümqi riots,many Chinese nationals turned to domestic sites, hence the membership spikes.
