O papel do empreendedor na análise da política externa chinesa: a promoção tecnológica no caso da Tencent na Índia

Abstract

The present work aims to analyze the role of the Chinese entrepreneur in China's foreign policy, based on the case of the Chinese giant Tencent, which operates in the emerging technological market in India. Since 2014, there has been a growth in Chinese investments in India in areas ranging from local services, education and healthcare to e-commerce, entertainment and digital games. The Chinese policy of Going Out was an important driver of this increase in trade in services between China and India, by proposing an increasing weight in trade relations in the formulation of Chinese foreign policy. In this sense, based on theoretical-conceptual elements of approaches to Political Entrepreneurship and Corporate Diplomacy, focusing on the case of Tencent, a Chinese giant that operates in the emerging technological market in India, we sought to understand the role of Chinese entrepreneurs in foreign policy of China and its performance in the sense of developing a digital domain of China in the region and generating a significant advance in the cooperation between the two countries.
