At least in terms of video games investment, Tencent is known to be very hands-off of the western companies it owns and is often seen to be a better option vs some western conglomerates. Ubisoft turning to Tencent to help it fight off a takeover attempt from Vivendi is a pretty good example.

Vanguard itself is developed by a US-based team and they've stated that they have very little to do with Tencent's anti-cheat team (Tencent uses its own solution for the CN region, including for Riots game) beyond sharing cheat samples.
