据《金融时报》周四报道，中国科技巨头腾讯已与美国云服务提供商甲骨文签署了一份价值70亿美元的租赁协议，使该公司能够获取约10万颗中国无法获得的先进AI芯片。
Chinese tech giant Tencent has signed a $7 billion lease deal with US cloud provider Oracle that has enabled the company to access around 100,000 advanced AI chips, which were not available in China, the Financial Times reported on Thursday.
这家世界领先的互联网和技术公司今年同意在东南亚的多个甲骨文数据中心进行为期五年的租赁，以应对日益激烈的AI竞赛。腾讯和甲骨文均未公开披露该报道的交易。
The world-leading internet and technology company this year agreed to a five-year lease across multiple Oracle data centers in south-east Asia amid an escalating AI race. Neither Tencent nor Oracle has publicly revealed the reported deal.
这是腾讯最大的海外交易，使公司能够获取约10万颗中国无法获得的先进AI芯片。协议包含约30%的预付款。
Tencent's largest overseas deal empowered the company to access around 100,000 advanced AI chips, which were not available in China. The agreement includes an upfront payment of about 30%.
该协议的达成源于国内供应短缺和美国收紧出口管制，这促使中国科技集团寻求更多海外算力。
The settlement follows a shortage of domestic supply and tightening American export controls that have led Chinese tech groups to seek more computing capacity overseas.
虽然腾讯通过数十亿美元的租赁交易保持步伐，但字节跳动和阿里巴巴仍是东南亚数据中心的最大客户。
While Tencent is keeping pace with multibillion-dollar leasing deals, ByteDance and Alibaba remain the biggest clients of data centers in south-east Asia.
过去一年，该科技集团增加了基础设施支出，因为公司也在其生态系统中实施AI代理，特别是其拥有超过14亿用户的微信超级应用。
The tech group has increased its infrastructure spending over the past year as the company is also implementing AI agents in its ecosystem, particularly its WeChat superapp, which has more than 1.4 billion users.
