The rules in China are evolving all the time but basically to have an app in China, you need to have an entity in China, have user data on a server in China, follow all Chinese laws, etc. So if Snow wants to keep it's Chinese user base, they will need to implement everything that other CN messaging apps have done, including censoring specific keywords, etc.

  They have an advantage that their own local market is quite large (and growing). It's similar to how a US company can do very well focusing on just us consumers, because the market is so big. Or, same as Japan .
