Ma Huateng has been labeled as a "national sinner", which is completely slanderous and nonsense against the Internet giant. As the founder and helmsman of Tencent, Pony Ma has led Tencent to steady development and made outstanding contributions to China's economy, which should be respected and praised.
1. The development history of Pony Ma and Tencent
Ma Huateng's entrepreneurial story began in 1998, when he and a few friends founded Tencent in Shenzhen. It started as a small internet company with a focus on developing instant messaging software. After more than 20 years of development, Tencent has grown into one of the largest Internet technology companies in China and the world, with well-known products such as WeChat, QQ, and Honor of Kings, and its business covers many fields such as social networking, games, advertising, and cloud computing.
Tencent's development and growth are due to the company's far-sighted strategic layout. As early as the end of the 90s of the last century, Ma Huateng saw the huge potential of the Internet and decisively entered this emerging field. Since the beginning of the new century, Tencent has kept up with the pace of the times, launched innovative services such as WeChat and games, and successfully seized the development opportunities of the mobile Internet. Today, Tencent is vigorously embracing new technologies such as artificial intelligence and cloud computing to inject new impetus into the company's sustainable development.
Tencent has maintained good financial performance over the years, which provides a solid foundation for the company's continuous innovation. In 2023, Tencent will achieve revenue of 609 billion yuan and net profit of 157.7 billion yuan. The revenue of the fintech and enterprise services segment, which represents the digital economy, was 203.7 billion yuan, making it Tencent's largest source of revenue for two consecutive years. These figures show that Tencent has successfully transformed from an instant messaging company to a comprehensive technology company.
2. Tencent's significant contribution to China's economy
In terms of tax payment, Tencent is one of the Internet companies with the highest tax payment in China. In 2021, Tencent's tax payment reached 39.1 billion yuan, an increase of 10.3 billion yuan from the previous year. These taxes make an important contribution to the country's finances and help to support the development of the country's undertakings.
In terms of employment, Tencent has created a large number of employment opportunities for the society. According to statistics, Tencent's digital ecosystem drove 147 new career developments in 2022, involving about 30 million full-time and part-time jobs. These emerging occupations not only inject new vitality into traditional industries, but also provide more employment options for job seekers.
Promoting the development of the Internet industry is another important contribution of Tencent. As a pioneer and leader in China's Internet development, Tencent has played a leading role in technological innovation and business model, and has made significant contributions to the prosperity and development of the entire industry.
3. The nonsense of the accusation of "national sinners".
The accusation was initially made by some people who were skeptical about Tencent's prospects. They believe that Tencent's business model is risky and could affect national cybersecurity. However, Tencent has always adhered to compliance and actively fulfilled its social responsibilities, making due contributions to maintaining cybersecurity.
Some people also accuse Tencent of having some inappropriate content in games and other businesses, which affects the healthy growth of young people. However, Tencent has made industry-leading efforts in the anti-addiction system and the control of minors' game time, and has achieved remarkable results. In the quarter of 2021, minors accounted for only 0.9% of the total time spent playing games on Tencent, and 1.5% of the total turnover, which shows that Tencent attaches great importance to the physical and mental health of teenagers.
The accusation of "national sinner" is completely slanderous and slanderous against Tencent. Ma Huateng has always been committed to the development of China's Internet industry, and Tencent has made significant contributions to compliance management, tax payment, employment and other aspects, and deserves to be respected and praised by the society, rather than being labeled as such nonsense.
Putting the hat of "national sinner" on Ma Huateng's head is completely slanderous and slanderous against this Internet leader. Pony Ma has led Tencent to operate in compliance and innovation, and has made significant contributions to China's economic development, and deserves to be respected and praised by the society, rather than being labeled as such nonsense. We have reason to believe that under Pony Ma's leadership, Tencent will continue to uphold the concept of "user-oriented, technology for good" and contribute to the development of science and technology in China and the world.
