Tencent Holdings, the Chinese internet gaming and social media conglomerate, has agreed to acquire a $736m stake in an online classified ads site, the latest purchase in a race with rival Alibaba to snap up internet assets.

中国游戏和社交媒体集团腾讯控股(Tencent Holdings)已达成协议，斥资7.36亿美元买入一家分类广告网站的股份。这是腾讯与其对手阿里巴巴(Alibaba)开展的收购互联网资产竞赛中最新的一起收购。

Tencent will snap up a 19.9 per cent stake in Nasdaq-listed 58.com, a move the Chinese group said would expand online shopping options for customers of its WeChat and QQ online messaging services.

腾讯将买入在纳斯达克(Nasdaq)上市的58同城(58.com) 19.9%的股份。这家中国集团表示，此举将扩大其微信(WeChat)及QQ在线聊天服务客户的在线购物选择。

The 58.com site, often described as China’s equivalent of Craigslist, floated in the US last November and has since seen its share price more than double.

58同城常被称为中国版的Craigslist，该网站去年11月在美国上市，自那以来股价上涨一倍多。

Both Tencent, Asia’s largest internet group by market cap, and Alibaba have been racing to acquire internet assets for the past year to try to outflank each other and dominate the Chinese internet market.

过去一年，不论是腾讯还是阿里巴巴都在竞相买入互联网资产，试图以此胜过对手，主导中国互联网市场。目前腾讯是亚洲市值最大的互联网集团。
