Do let us know what your showings find on the current Chinese clients, if you ever get to checking them. Not to mention, though, if Microsoft
did release a China-only client, somebody leaking it to the rest of the world would be inevitable.
Either way, in the event somebody actually does, in fact, make it possible to keep use of Messenger after its global shutdown, it's going to be a very impractical, roundabout method. Die-hard fans of Messenger such as myself, however, won't care about that.
