they are scary big at one point they were tied to rumours of trying to buy part of Capcom. Read more

That's a false equivalency. There was an anti-american attitude, yet American restaurants still thrive. Read more

I went with Operate because effectively what's merging is the JV partners of MS and Sony. But since MS and Sony need the JV partners to operate their business in China, they can't pull out of the JV's. Their partner here has the license and pull with the government to get things done. Without that, MS and Sony would… Read more

hmmm - well i said this before, interest is subjective. You could find it as boring as watching Paint Dry, and someone else could find this to be the Bee's Knees. =[ Read more

It's already stolen! I hyperlinked your comment in the last paragraph! Read more

They also do WeChat - QQ - invested in JD.com - web banking, taxi services to name a few. Read more

I didn't want to say a source, cause you know - Journalists can't have sources who are friends.

I dont' think he was being flippant with his comment. i'm here to respond to criticism, what's misleading about the headline?

Also - not to argue with you but interest is subjective not objective. One person can find snails crawling interesting while another finds it boring =[. Read more

We've got lots of friends? Read more

Monopoly in CHina means whatever the government wants it to mean =[ Read more

Yes, yes it would. Read more

=[ Sorry you feel that way? I mean, the story was interesting when I saw it, and it still is. Tencent's huge as I pointed out in another comment. Security and safety in China is top notch. In Asia (i didn't point to this in the story) splashing paint on someone's door is a huge thing. It's like you're marking them.

She's a journalist - who works for Tencent? Who I occasionally have coffee with when I'm in that part of town? Also this is a big thing cause Tencent's huge. HUGE! Read more
