BENGALURU: Three of China’s biggest tech companies are expected to report that they ramped up or broadly maintained their pace of quarterly spending to develop new technology and push into relatively new markets, as current growth drivers stall.
Used to rapid growth rates until recently, Chinese tech giants including Tencent and Baidu are seeking new revenue streams. But that has not come cheap as they shell out more to hire the best in a competitive job market and keep spending to attract customers in a slowing economy.
