By systematically analyzing Tencent’s overseas investment layout, investment fields, and investment results, this paper explores how cross-border investment has become a key engine driving Tencent’s innovation performance in terms of technology spillover effect, market-oriented effect, and resource allocation effect. Accordingly, it puts forward a series of practical and feasible strategic recommendations, providing valuable insights for other multinational enterprises.
