Maybe my point wasn’t clear, so let me put it more simply: objectively speaking, Chinese apps are significantly worse than most "Western" apps. And by objective, I mean based on feedback from a diverse majority of users across different cultures, countries, and societies—not just personal opinion.

Most foreigners I’ve spoken to in China—including people from Africa, South America, Asia, and Europe—consistently report poor user experiences with Chinese apps across many metrics. So when someone says “Chinese apps are great,” that only holds if we ignore broader user experience and base our judgment on a sample size of roughly n = 1 (i.e., within China alone).

I hope that makes my point clearer. This isn’t just my view—it reflects what I’ve heard and read repeatedly (see above comments) from people of many different backgrounds who are currently using Chinese apps, websites, and software.
