Usually people will spin some story (which sounds difficult) when other people found out and ask them how they do it.

Edit: its not like fairytale to pass the internal interview also la. The interview will be exactly the same as an external applicant just albeit less a few interview rounds.

There was an ex-colleague who told people and hence was rejected from switching roles. I stayed in the company long enough so I knew all my ex-colleagues who had changed roles.

Alibaba role is better and more versatile tho if you have interest in SRE then Tencent.

So get the high base, leave after a year or two and find a more suitable company. Chances of you changing role in Tencent or let alone any other large tech company is really low. I've heard of people changing teams but never changing roles. ( At least for tech )
