Liverpool Football Club have become the most popular English football club on China's top social media network SINA Weibo.

Launched last July ahead of the Reds' first ever visit to mainland China as part of the pre-season tour, Liverpool's fan base on Weibo now stands at over 164,000.

For those not familiar with Weibo, it's a Chinese micro blogging site akin to Facebook or Twitter and is one of the most popular internet sites in China, used by over 140 million people in the world's most populous country.

For fans in China, it's a new way to speak to the club they support and for Liverpool, it's another chance to reach out to our supporters on social media.
