Facebook nearly generated as much profit in 2017 as Tencent and Alibaba combined, to put it into perspective.
The flip side of China's behavior, is that their domestic tech giants have been unable to go global like Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Apple and Netflix have (Amazon is still trying to push its model fully global with mixed results). Baidu was supposed to challenge Google globally, it has completely failed at that. The US is the world's most lucrative advertising market, Alibaba and Tencent can't access it because they're wildly incompetent at operating outside of their protected kingdom (as witnessed by Alibaba's embarrassing failure with 11 Main). China is an extremely unique market, the approaches and protections that have given Tencent and Alibaba their dominance there, will not translate well to most of the rest of the world.
