7.3The China tech giants🤖️

Among the top 10 most valuable tech companies globally are two China tech giants, with many more up-and-coming startups making their presence felt. The industry has become a serious rival to Silicon Valley. Early on, Chinese companies like TC had a reputation for being copycats. Its... instant messaging app originally looked a lot like ICQ - a popular messaging app used in the US. TC’s 1 billion strong messaging app WeC has grown from simply a texting app to a platform for shopping, flirting, dating, watching videos, playing games, and ordering food and taxis. There’s no US equivalent. And because of China’s large population, whose internet users more than double the entire US population, the companies grew to be massive. 在全球范围内10家最有价值的科技公司中，有两家是中国科技巨头，还有很多新兴的公司崭露头角，刷新他们的存在感。整个中国的科技行业已成为硅谷的一个非常厉害竞争对手。 先前，像TC这样的中国公司以模仿而闻名。TC的...即时通讯应用软件最初看起来很像ICQ, ICQ是一款在美国很受欢迎的通讯应用软件。 TC公司的信息应用软件WeC拥有10亿用户，已经从一个简单的发短信的应用软件成长为一个平台，可以购物、调情、约会、看视频、玩游戏、订餐和打车。美国没有像WeC这样的应用软件。 由于中国人口众多，其互联网用户是整个美国人口的两倍多，中国的公司发展得不断壮大。
