Tencent Cloud is on a mission to help enterprise businesses to connect to the China market with the launch of a new connectivity offering that provides AI, big data and cloud computing services.
According to Tencent Cloud, the China Connect Solution provides support for businesses that want to establish businesses in the country.

Yeung adds that the company wants to give businesses a safe, smooth and stable connection to China. Furthermore, enterprises are able to join Tencent's wider ecosystem for marketing and commerce. For example, Tencent QiDian offers closed-loop digital and social marketing and lead classification.
Other services include Weixin Official Accounts, Mini Programs, Weixin Pay and intuitive communication tools such as Tencent Meeting and VooV Meeting.
The company also states, "a robust C2B (consumer to business) strategy enables business to directly engage with consumers through platforms like Weixin and QQ, which boast billions of users, and provide valuable local market knowledge and operational experience.
Recently Tencent Cloud announced a partnership with the Asian Institute of Digital Finance, an institute within the National University of Singapore. The partnership will provide support to Asia's growing digital finance industry. The partnership will explore fintech research, develop the talent pool, and drive innovation.
