　　Tencent owns League of Legend studio Riot Games completely, while it has a 40 percent ownership stake in Epic Games. Tencent also owns a minority stake in the American games publisher Activision Blizzard. Looking abroad, Tencent owns Path of Exile studio Grinding Gear, while it also has smaller investments in Ubisoft, Bluehole, Yager, and PlatinumGames.

　　Aimen Mir, who formerly worked for the US Treasury Department, told Bloomberg, "When you're talking about massive amounts of data, there's probably something for the committee to look at."

　　This move from the US government comes amid the Trump administration's crackdown on the viral app TikTok, which is owned by the Chinese company ByteDance. Just recently, ByteDance announced that Oracle and Walmart would acquire a 20% stake in the company, preventing TikTok from getting banned in the US.
