BEIJING: Border incursion is not the only Chinese challenge for Bhutan. The other one is the widespread use of WeChat , the China-based instant messaging platform, which poses the risk of being used as a channel to disseminate propaganda, informed sources said. "I am afraid hackers can use thousands of WeChat accounts to send out political messages. It is widely used even in rural areas of Bhutan, and I won't be surprised if soldiers are also using them," a US-based Bhutanese told TNN while requesting anonymity. But BtCIRT clarified that it has not come across any specific case of compromised WeChat accounts.
