BEIJING, September 9, 2010--

largest Internet services provider, to develop a high definition (HD) webcam

    Being China's largest Internet company, Tencent is committed to offering
internet users a one-stop online lifestyle services community, fulfilling a
multitude of needs when it comes to online activities. According to
statistics, over 60% of QQ users frequently communicate through video calls
with an average four hours of video call time daily. In terms of
applications, QQ video call is significantly used for people's normal
communications, distant business meetings, news media live reporting, as well
as internal and external governmental communications. With video calls
becoming a ubiquitous mode of communications, users are also demanding higher
video calling quality. To this end, Tencent and faceVsion have fully utilized
its respective software and hardware strengths to jointly offer 720p
HD-quality video calls at 1280 x 720 resolution, providing users with
innovative products to enjoy a life-like video calling experience at a cost
of a typical webcam.

    "faceVsion is striving to provide HD video communications for consumers
and SMEs anytime, from anywhere," said William Tan, Chief Operating Officer
of faceVsion. "The joint cooperation between Tencent and faceVsion in
combining the FV TouchCam VQ1 and QQ HD software enables the hundreds of
millions of QQ users to enjoy real-time, two-way HD video calling at a truly
affordable consumer price."

    "Considering the continual scope expansion of the Internet, as well as

convenient one-stop online platform," said Mel Yin, General Manager of
Instant Messaging Department of Tencent. "We expect to continually provide
more innovative technologies, and never-seen-before applications to users,
upgrading their online experience."

    Impeded by networking, infrastructure, and cost issues associated with
traditional HD conferencing solutions, the scope of global HD video
conferencing market is limited to less than 2 billion US dollars in terms of
revenues. According to research firms' statistics, there are approximately
1.2 billion of the worldwide population that has access to broadband
internet, and with massive number of small and medium enterprises, the
potential of video conferencing market is estimated to exceed hundreds of
billions US dollars. In addition, many states' governments around the globe
have prioritized broadband network as one of the country's key competitive
indexes. Tencent and faceVsion will continue to foster this partnership by
leveraging respective strengths in hardware, software and codec technologies
so as to provide faster and better products and services over Internet.
