> Bytedance and Tencent are tech giants for sure, nonetheless they’re not Google kind of giant.

$186 billion and $105 billion revenue in 2025 respectively vs. $402 billion? Yes, Google is larger, but they're all in that same ballpark?

ByteDance's 2025 net income isn't that different from Anthropic's Series H funding even ($50bn vs $65bn respectively).
