Betting on auto: Tencent's Future Mobility venture has been going on a hiring spree, nabbing high-profile recruits from such firms as Tesla Motors Inc, BMW AG, Google's Alphabet and Mercedes-Benz.

BEIJING: China’s communist authorities have moved supervision of Tencent Web, one of the country’s biggest online media portals, to the capital after it published a one-character typo related to President Xi Jinping, Hong Kong media reports said. 

In an article about a keynote speech given by Xi during the 95th anniversary celebration of the ruling Communist Party, which took place on July 1, someone at Tencent mistyped a character in the phrase “Xi Jinping delivered an important speech”, Hong Kong’s Ming Pao newspaper said.
