Sharing economy spawns 'love hunters'

What's common to bicycles, homes, cars, trucks, high fashion, basketballs, umbrellas, jewellery? Easy - all are part of China's magical sharing economy. The list has just got longer as love has been hurled into it.

Consequently, a nubile friend of mine, who was a bit conservative and used to avoid online dating platforms as if they were plague, is now active on Yihao Chuanmei app.

Yihao's USP is "sharing". Users can introduce their single friends to their "circles". Such singles are called "love-hunters", whom other love-hunters and users in the circle could contact, meet, date.
