Zhihu (知乎) is a Beijing-based question-and-answer and knowledge-sharing platform founded in 2011 by Zhou Yuan, Li Shenshen and Huang Jixin, often compared to Quora. Users ask, answer and upvote the replies they find useful, and it also offers live streams, a trending list and the AI search tool Zhida. In line with China's real-name rules, accounts are tied to phone numbers.
With a virtual number you enter the temporary number on Zhihu's login screen and sign in with the code it sends. It is a practical way for Chinese learners, founders researching the Chinese market, academics and journalists to follow how users in China discuss technology, careers and everyday life, without registering a personal number.
Zhihu stopped supporting anonymous posts in July 2023, so what you write is linked to your account; think twice before sharing personal or sensitive details. Because the account depends on its number, choose one you can reach if you plan to use it regularly, and follow content rules that are enforced under Chinese law.
