UC vs. Tencent, fight or hype?

In the end, UC Youshi took Tencent to court.
On the morning of November 4, UC Youshi officially announced that it would sue Tencent on the grounds of unfair competition. The battle for mobile browser market share between the two parties may therefore enter the court stage.
But before the court informed whether it would accept the lawsuit and other details were announced, UC Youshi, which claimed to have been "bullied severely," launched a new round of public opinion offensive. Yu Yongfu, CEO of UC Youshi, not only presented a copy of the cooperation agreement between Tencent and mobile phone manufacturers to testify, but also launched a "reward" of 200,000 yuan to collect more effective legal evidence, showing the momentum of vowing to "fight to the end" with Tencent. This move naturally aroused great concern from the industry and the public. What will be the outcome of this battle?
UC Yu Yongfu "cannot bear it"
Before filing the formal lawsuit, UC Youshi had issued a "Letter to Partners and UC Browser Users", accusing Tencent of deliberately manipulating false reports on "QQ Browser is firmly ranked first in the browser market", as well as unfair competition behaviors such as bundling, exclusivity, and kidnapping of users.
UC Youshi CEO Yu Yongfu said that since the launch of UC Browser in 2009, Tencent has blacklisted it. UC has actively communicated with Tencent executives including Ma Huateng on many occasions, but to no avail. UC Youshi had "failed to endure it" and had no choice but to make this choice and announced a formal lawsuit against Tencent.
As for Tencent's unfair competition, Yu Yongfu also specially announced a cooperation agreement between Tencent and mobile phone manufacturers as proof. The agreement clearly states that mobile phone manufacturers will not promote their competitors' products when promoting Tencent products. The corresponding relationships are as follows: QQ Browser UC Browser; QQ Security Assistant 360 Security Assistant; Tencent Weibo and Sina Weibo.
Yu Yongfu said: "Since Tencent started making mobile browsers in 2009, its provocative behavior and unfair competition against UC have been continuous. Everyone knows that within Tencent, UC has been blacklisted for three years and has been listed as the number one target. In this regard, we have met and communicated with Tencent senior management, including Ma Huateng, through phone calls, text messages, and emails many times, clarifying the sunshine The competitive attitude points out the fact of malicious competition and hopes that the other party will change. But what is the result? Tencent neither admits its mistakes nor apologizes, but just acts cruelly, which is intolerable. "In the battle of UC's counterattack against Tencent, Weibo became an excellent publicity platform. Yu Yongfu not only broke the news frequently through Weibo, but also successfully aroused the hatred of many peers in the industry. In addition to Duowan President Li Xueling and Linekong CEO Wang Feng who also broke the news on Weibo, Li Yi, executive vice chairman of China Mobile Internet Industry Alliance, also said on Weibo that he "firmly stands on the side of Comrade Yu Yongfu" and called on relevant departments to organize investigations as soon as possible to prevent "giants who lack a bottom line from "playing hooligans" to the end."

QQ Chen Cheng "feels helpless"
Faced with UC's fierce online and offline offensive, Tencent chose to respond in a low-key manner. Chen Cheng, director of its mobile QQ browser, said in an interview with the media, "Tencent cannot force or manipulate manufacturers' choices, nor does it interfere with third-party reports. It feels helpless to be slandered." In response to "manipulating data reports, confusing information, misleading partners, and damaging UC When accused of "unfair cooperation system and unfair competition", Chen Cheng said that the data of the three data companies come from independent third parties, and Tencent has no ability to intervene. Chen Cheng suggested that if Yu Yongfu, CEO of UC Youshi, has questions about the investigation report, he should consult the data company.
As for the issue of Tencent requiring partners to "choose one of two" that has attracted much attention in the industry, Chen Cheng believes that this "choose one of two" formulation is alarmist. "Currently, most manufacturers have built-in QQ browser, UC browser or Opera for mobile phones. There are also a group of manufacturers that only have built-in UC browser. These are commercial behaviors, and we are also Party B. We cannot force it, let alone manipulate it. Such a formulation is challenging the commercial level of major mobile phone manufacturers.""
Chen Cheng believes that "Mobile QQ Browser has been working hard to make products for many years and strive to bring a better experience to users. In the era of mobile Internet, users have abundant channels to install any application they need anytime and anywhere. Every company has its own product strategy. Tencent is a listed company. We respect our users very much. If we don't do well enough, it's not as bad as he said! The so-called "kidnapping users" said that access to UC Paradise is limited to UC Browser. If it follows UC's logic, is it also hijacking users? "
In response to UC's question in the "Letter to Users" that Sina Weibo and MiLiao cannot be found in the Tencent Application Center, Zhu Tao, the product manager of Tencent Application Center, explained that "Sina Weibo and MiLiao are included normally and can be searched by any user. UC Browser applied for by non-UC official accounts is currently under review and waiting for release. "
