China’s National Intelligence Law from 2017 requires organizations and citizens to "support, assist and cooperate with the state intelligence work." All Chinese companies have to turn data over to CCP if asked.
Tencent is a Chinese holding company, founded 1998. World's largest video game company, one of the largest social media/internet companies, one of the largest venture capital firms, and one of the most valuable companies in the world. According to anons on the deep web that are located there, it is the CCP technological arm, and also a hybrid Disney. They track all users, conversations, IP addresses, locations, search history, and report everything back to the CCP. This is on all platforms (gaming, social media, IM, chat).
Tencent has an instant messaging app called QQ. Logo is a winking penguin wearing a red scarf (who else uses red scarves, and when). This is available internationally, on multiple platforms.
In 2013 Reporters Without Borders published a report saying QQ allowed CCP authorities to monitor online conversations for keywords or phrases and track participants by their user number.

Tencent allows underground/black market adoption groups in China to operate on QQ. Any security measures they enact are easily bypassed.

Tencent bought a large share Snapchat in 2017, and a large share of Reddit in 2019 (shortly after that purchase is when the censorship crackdown began).
Question: is the DNC using the QQ messaging app to communicate with the CCP? Anyone else find anything? Will continue to dig and see if I can find backdoors.
