While what you're saying is true, might it be a brilliant time to sell a chunk to Tencent? If you believe that China is likely to invade Taiwan soon, and western countries will respond by freezing any Chinese assets overseas (see: Russia/Ukraine), might this be a great way to pocket cash and then have the equity revert back to you in a few months? That said, Tencent seems to own a chunk of most important private tech companies and most mid-level game companies.
