The CCP rules as much through soft power as through hard power (threat of being disappeared/jailed), WeChat is just another tool in their tool box. I don't think they are twisty mustache cartoon villains, but the CCP definitely are belligerent to anyone feeling personal liberty from the government beyond what they allow, and knowing you are always being watched is part of that.
