My duty is to continue the story published last year and called \u201cChinese Internet industry ready to grow beyond borders\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>People were quite sceptical in 2008 when I announced that China, as a country, was good at disruptive innovation following a trip to Beijing. At that time, I placed my bets on a Chinese Internet becoming almost the only alternative to its American predecessor. Who would have imagined that change would accelerate so much at the very beginning of 2012?<\/p>\n<p>China: already an Internet giant<\/p>\n<p>China has the world\u2019s largest Internet traffic thanks to its population, the world\u2019s biggest with more than 1.3 billion people. With the strong increase of its Gross Domestic Product, extraordinary engineering talent, plenty of venture capital, Chinese entrepreneurs and large firms now have the necessary resources to compete worldwide.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_58142\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-58142\" style=\"width: 644px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/visionarymarketing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/baidu-yi-thumb.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-58142 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/visionarymarketing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/baidu-yi-thumb.jpg\" alt=\"Chinese Internet\" width=\"644\" height=\"424\" srcset=\"https:\/\/visionarymarketing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/baidu-yi-thumb.jpg 644w, https:\/\/visionarymarketing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/baidu-yi-thumb-456x300.jpg 456w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 644px) 100vw, 644px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-58142\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Baidu : screen capture<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>From a social behaviour point of view, there is a fundamental difference between American and Chinese people: in the U.S.A. (and in Europe too) a majority of online users are \u201cspectators\u201d while a majority of users in China are \u201ccreators\u201d. China is therefore much more active market and its users generate a lot of UGC (user-generated content) every day. This discrepancy is one of the reasons behind the success of QQ games, a Tencent service dedicated to free online gaming.<\/p>\n<p>Now that Chinese Internet players are giants at home, aren\u2019t we just about to see them thrive beyond borders?<\/p>\n<h3>Strategic investments before 2012<\/h3>\n<p>In 2011, Tencent formed several strategic partnerships in China: among them, Kingsoft Corporation Limited, an Internet security software editor and eLong, Inc, a leading online travel service provider in China.<\/p>\n<p>Outside China, in addition of being active in the U.S.A., Russia, India, Vietnam, Thailand, Tencent acquired a majority stake in Riot Games, a Los Angeles-based developer and publisher of online video games. In 2010, Tencent invested $300m in Digital Sky Technologies (DST) of Russia, bringing two internet powerhouses of the emerging markets together in a long-term strategic partnership.<\/p>\n<p>Alibaba prepared the future of Alipay reaching an agreement with Yahoo!, and SoftBank. Alipay is a leader in China in providing payment processing services. Alibaba also developed operations in the U.S.A. and formed a partnership with Turkey&#8217;s Logo Group to reach Turkish companies.<\/p>\n<p>Among others, Renren and Dangdang are listed on the New York Stock Exchange. We can expect more US IPOs by Chinese companies. There are at least 10 Chinese Internet companies which have made confidential filings through the Security Exchange Commission. Those Chinese tech companies aiming at an IPO are also growing their business through innovation.<\/p>\n<h3>A success story named\u00a0Tencent<a href=\"https:\/\/visionarymarketing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/tencent-1-e1603471960263.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-58150 size-full aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/visionarymarketing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/tencent-1-e1603471960263.jpg\" alt=\"Chinese Internet\" width=\"519\" height=\"340\" srcset=\"https:\/\/visionarymarketing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/tencent-1-e1603471960263.jpg 519w, https:\/\/visionarymarketing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/tencent-1-e1603471960263-458x300.jpg 458w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 519px) 100vw, 519px\" \/><\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Founded in November 1998, Tencent has grown into China&#8217;s largest and most used Internet service portal. In its ten year history, Tencent has been able to maintain steady and fast paced growth. In 2005, Tencent entered the social network market with <a href=\"https:\/\/qzone.qq.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">QZone<\/a> and Internet shopping with PaiPai.com platform. In 2006, the firm decided to compete directly with Baidu and Google with the launch of the Soso search engine.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_58148\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-58148\" style=\"width: 628px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/visionarymarketing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/image-thumb1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-58148 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/visionarymarketing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/image-thumb1.png\" alt=\"Chinese Internet\" width=\"628\" height=\"484\" srcset=\"https:\/\/visionarymarketing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/image-thumb1.png 628w, https:\/\/visionarymarketing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/image-thumb1-389x300.png 389w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 628px) 100vw, 628px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-58148\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">above picture: the soso.com search engine: wait a minute, I think the graphic design vaguely rings a bell \u2026<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Tencent&#8217;s QQ Services is China&#8217;s largest and most used Internet service portal, with the largest customer base in the world. Key platform statistics are 647.6 million of active Instant Messaging (\u201cIM\u201d) user accounts and a peak of simultaneous online IM user accounts of 127.5 million. Active user accounts of Qzone, a social network included in QQ Instant Messaging, numbered 492 million.<br \/>\nR&amp;D staff group is large at Tencent. The company has obtained patents relating to the following technologies: instant messaging, on-line shopping and payment services, search engine, information security, gaming, and many more. In 2007, Tencent invested more than RMB 100 m (note: RMB stands for Renminbi, which is the other name of the Chinese Yuan)\u00a0 and in setting up the Tencent Research Institute, China&#8217;s first Internet research institute, with campuses in Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen.<\/p>\n<p>The institute focuses on developing core technologies.\u00a0 The revenue of the firm increased by 57% in 2010 compared to 2009, which means that Tencent is now more profitable than Microsoft Online or Google.<\/p>\n<p>The business model of Tencent is not only based on advertising but based mainly on revenue generated by users and online sales. The firm is very well positioned in latter market. Furthermore, it has already a large user base which it can leverage. Online sales in China are a fabulous market for Tencent. We can expect at least a 35% increase per annum in the three coming years.<br \/>\nEstimate in growth of revenue generated by virtual micro-transactions will be outstanding according to Strategy Analytics[6] compared to 2009, the global market of 2015 will be multiplied by seventeen (from US$ 1 billion to US$ 17 billions).<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion<\/h3>\n<p>As a conclusion, you now know that the Internet industry in China and Tencent, in particular, are rather successful on their home turf. Now you must be wondering whether Tencent or any other Chinese Internet firms will decide (and when) to go beyond its borders and tackle the rest of the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Chinese Internet is now conquering the world.
