In the past two years, ByteDance's business in Hong Kong has developed rapidly. The author learned from an informed source that as of now, Douyin APP has more than 3 million monthly active users in Hong Kong, a figure that has increased by 147% from the end of 2022 and more than 60% from the same period in 2024, which means that nearly 40% of Hong Kong's permanent population will use Douyin APP every month. In addition, ByteDance is also accelerating its layout in the field of AI (artificial intelligence) in Hong Kong. BytePlus, a cloud computing and AI solution provider under the company, officially launched a local data center in Hong Kong in October 2024, providing cross-platform multi-cloud solutions for local companies, including computing, storage, network databases and other cloud infrastructure services. On May 15, 2025, BytePlus and "Hong Kong 1" jointly organized BytePlus Day, and with the theme of "Future Exploration of AI Cloud Technology", shared local enterprise upgrade and transformation cases to help small and medium-sized enterprises fully embrace the new era of AI.
