DeepSeek's AI model was the hottest Chinese tech product last year.
In 2026, the trending app is 'Are You Dead?', designed for people worried about dying alone.
The app allows users to confirm they are alive; missing two consecutive days alerts an emergency contact.
The app went viral globally without advertising, coinciding with China's record-low birth rate and rising divorce rates.
