I believe Tencent’s “pragmatic AI” strategy offers strong near-term value. By enhancing ads and gaming—its core revenue streams—Tencent is showing real AI monetization without major disruption. The Yuanbao system, tied to WeChat’s vast mini-program network, mirrors Meta’s approach: using AI to optimize what already works, with measurable ROI.

That said, I think the market may be overlooking Alibaba’s transformation. Despite a slight revenue miss, its profit surged & the massive investment into AI infrastructure shows a clear pivot toward becoming China’s AWS + OpenAI. Shifting focus from GMV to cloud & foundation models like Tongyi could pay off big if adoption grows.

While Tencent balances ambition & discipline better today, Alibaba’s aggressive push could yield greater long-term rewards. For me, Tencent $TENCENT(00700)$ offers short-term clarity, but I lean toward Alibaba $Alibaba(09988)$ if I’m thinking 3+ years ahead & can stomach higher risk.
