Christmas time is here. Soon, China’s tech companies will be waking up, rubbing the sleep from their eyes, and running downstairs to see what Santa has left for them under the tree this year.
OK, maybe not. Christmas isn’t that big a thing in China, and China’s tech companies aren’t little children. But on a holiday that’s known internationally as a day to give and get gifts, everybody’s got something they want. Here’s are the Christmas gifts China’s top tech companies are hoping could bring them success in the new year.

Why it wants it: Xiaomi may have conquered China, but its global ambitions are being stymied because of patent-related lawsuits. Its India ban could be just the tip of the iceberg, and the company has already started to put money into developing more of its own original IP.
Alibaba
What it wants: Video games.
