Many in the West may not have heard of Tencent’s QQ, but in China, it is a massive digital offering from a massive digital conglomerate. QQ is Tencent’s instant messaging platform. It was launched way back in 1999, but they are still going strong and have accumulated a very impressive user base over the years.

So just how big is QQ? Here are the more interesting stats and facts I was able to dig up for QQ. As always, I will be adding more and updating these periodically as I find new stuff. Be sure to check back regularly.

Please note that some of these numbers are easier to find than others. A few of these stats come from Tencent’s own reports, but some are based on news reports and not official company tallies. Basically, this is the best I can find and I don’t guarantee anything to be 100% accurate.
