Web heavyweights set aside differences

Chinese Internet tycoons, known for years of throat-cutting fights for business, reached a rare consensus on Thursday that the heating competition in the market is largely healthy.

Tencent Holdings Ltd CEO Ma Huateng said: "The future of cyberspace will be a competitive and cooperative community of shared futures."

Ma was sitting alongside Qihoo 360 Technologies Co co-founder Zhou Hongyi, who was involved in a widely criticized battle against Tencent that asked tens of millions of Chinese netizens to choose sides.
