WeChat seeks overseas opportunities
WeChat, the popular Chinese social media and messaging service, is seeking to expand into Europe and bolster its U.S presence as it pushes its payments system and wants to build partnerships with new advertisers.
Tencent Holdings Ltd., which owns WeChat, told Bloomberg in an interview that the company wants to launch an office in the U.K. and another European country. WeChat already has an office in Italy.
Tencent Europe Director Andrea Ghizzoni also said the company wants to grow WeChat's operations in San Francisco.
