In light of Tencent's $ 500 billion assessment this week, analysts are once again looking at the Chinese Great Firewall for an answer. The Great Wall of China has pushed the American giants away from technology and fueled the flame for Chinese megacorporations, like Tencent and Alibaba. This environment is ideal for attracting a national audience, with virtually no other options, and significant investments. Tencent has created a Tencent lifestyle. Under the wing of Tencent are several of China's busiest online services, such as WeChat, QQ, QZone and their games Tencent, China's largest online gaming community, Tencent Literature, and Tencent Comics.

An important factor in Tencent's dominance is that future competitors Facebook, Twitter, Youtube and Google, especially all Americans, are stuck in China. While Tencent's $ 500 billion valuation this week has nearly surpassed Taiwan's annual GDP, as the China Times reports, this is not a sign of a failing Taiwanese economy.
