Tundra Esports recently launched its social media account on China\u2019s leading platform Weibo, gaining over 48,000 followers.<\/p>\n\n  <\/div>\n\n\n<div id=\"esi-paragraph-67d92506e397a\" class=\"esi-paragraph \">\n    \n<p>From a business and commercial perspective, there were still some positive partnerships and developments in China esports during October.<\/p>\n\n  <\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"keep-reading \"  id=\"kr-67d92506e49c3\">\n  <div class=\"heading\">Keep Reading<\/div>\n  <ul class=\"d-flex flex-column\">\n          <li id=\"post-125914\" style=\"order: 2;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/esportsinsider.com\/2022\/08\/china-esports-blast-july-2022\" target=\"_blank\">China Esports Blast: July 2022<\/a><\/li>\n          <li id=\"post-127446\" style=\"order: 1;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/esportsinsider.com\/2022\/09\/china-esports-blast-august-2022\" target=\"_blank\">China Esports Blast: August 2022<\/a><\/li>\n      <\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div id=\"esi-heading-67d92506e568b\" class=\"esi-heading \">\n  \n<h3><span id=\"nike_signs_jian_uzi_zihao_as_its_first_official_esports_athlete\">Nike signs Jian &#8216;Uzi&#8217; Zihao as its first official esports athlete<\/span><\/h3>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div id=\"esi-paragraph-67d92506e5ecd\" class=\"esi-paragraph \">\n    \n<p>Global sportswear brand Nike made a significant announcement in China, signing Chinese esports icon Jian \u2018Uzi\u2019 Zihao as Nike\u2019s first esports athlete worldwide.

The long relationship between Zihao and Nike, and China\u2019s colossal esports and Generation Z market behind Zihao will be the main reasons that Nike signed the deal with him. We congratulate Zihao that he can stand alongside Michael Jordan, LeBron James, and Cristiano Ronaldo, who Nike also signed.
