Tencent's US Network Expands into Academia and Local Politics, Raising Influence Concerns

Tencent's US network has significantly expanded, incorporating new co-actors including university alumni centers, a journalism school, and local political figures like Governor Tina Kotek. This expansion, highlighted by the sponsorship or facilitation of a gubernatorial debate watch party, suggests a deliberate effort to engage with US academic and political spheres. The precise nature of Tencent's objectives and the implications of these new connections, particularly their potential for broader influence, warrant further investigation.
