Why? Well, when a veteran tech journalist writes a 13,000 word piece titled “Tencent Has No Dream,” leading to thousands of responses and a #fakenews scandal involving Tencent CEO Pony Ma, the topic is definitely worthy of discussion. Rui and Ying-Ying take you back to 2011 when Tencent had a market cap of less than one tenth of they're worth today to see what they've done, how they've evolved, and what their future holds.
