So this is what happened to the Republican Party along the way. They caught “China$”. It passed into the bloodstream as a
contagion.
Meanwhile, China's three dominant internet companies, Baidu (a search engine), Alibaba (e-commerce) and Tencent (messaging and gaming), known collectively as the BAT, have all felt the government's wrath. In 2018, Tencent lost $200bn in its market capitalization after regulators stopped approving new online games, pushing the company out of the world's top 10 companies ranked by their share market valuation. The rapid growth of the BAT companies and their dominance of the internet in China has given them an out-sized economic status. But their political value is just as important, as they have become indispensable to China's surveillance state. With the mountain of data they generate, the BAT trinity are in effect turning into a real-time, efficient and privately run intelligence platform. In that respect, they are seen as ideal private companies. They both drive economic growth and also buttress the political system.
