Abstract
The work focuses on the study of WeChat (main social network in China) and its digital activity for its advanced functionalities which build intelligent society in China.

This work shows how an intelligent society changes and develops through a social network, and detailed analysis of advanced technology and social network of WeChat to give a good example to Westren countries which want to build intelligent society.
