Tencent tech at cutting edge of reform and opening-up

You can barely find a phrase that properly encapsulates all businesses of Tencent Holdings Ltd.

Similarly, most people can hardly live in China without using Tencent's services, such as messaging, paying for coffee, hailing taxis, listening to music or watching videos, at least once a day.

The internet conglomerate, founded two decades ago in Shenzhen, the bridgehead of China's reform and opening-up policy, is joining the ranks of the world's most valuable companies, whose influence extend beyond just expansive business scopes and staggering financial figures.
