I was thinking of reddit
Tik Tok is the only tencent company I know if that's been labeled a national security risk.
They also have a stake in all these companies...
Legaue of legends
Epic games
Ubisoft
From soft
Activision blizzard
WeChat
LoL is not a company, the creator and owner of it is Riot Games.
And the owner of Riot Games is Tencent, that and WeChat stick out from the rest of the list because they are owned and developed by Tencent instead of just Tencent owning stock
I was just listing everything from the top of my head of things I knew they had a holding in... I mean it is a holdings company or whatever the term is... So it's what they do... Buy all these stakes in random companies for profit... But I would say Blackrock is probably worse fuck blackrock
