This has been expected for a while.
Hopefully it can help address the increasing gender imbalance. It has reached 6:5 male to female births, resulting in huge numbers of Chinese men who cannot find marriage partners.

The 2011 projection says 19 million more boys than girls (Age 0-14).
And 34 million more males than females if you look at the whole population.

(That is, if you're not interested in the serivces. If you are, then I guess WeChat is paradise on Earth for the Laowai.)
Interesting turn of phrase there...
I say "girls" because I strongly suspect those are fake accounts run by some agency that will dispatch actual workers to you when you agree for the service. I think so, because otherwise China has a really big evening employment and entertainment problem.
