This Lunar New Year, China’s tech giants kicked off a new round of AI wars.

Alibaba launched a ¥3B “Spring Festival Treat” campaign, driving 10 million free milk tea orders in 9 hours across its platforms. Tencent invested ¥1B into WeChat’s “Yuanbao” AI red packets to deepen engagement.

ByteDance took another path — its Dream platform released Seedance 2.0, a video AI model that boosts usable output for short clips to over 90%, far above the ~20% industry average.

Beyond subsidies, this battle is about who can truly integrate AI into daily life. The holiday rush helps shape habits, gather data, and train models — all aiming to become the go-to “AI ask” gateway.

The winner won’t just get traffic, but could define the super-app of the AI era.

So — who’s your pick? Alibaba’s commerce, Tencent’s social grip, or ByteDance’s tech edge?
