A mobile phone is displaying the screen of Tencent Games company's stock plunge in Suqian, Jiangsu Province, China, on December 22, 2023. Chinese online gaming stocks rose Wednesday, recovering some losses from the previous session after the country's top gaming regulator pledged to "further modify and improve" draft rules aimed at curbing excessive online gaming and spending. On Saturday, China's National Press and Publication Administration also vowed in a WeChat statement to "carefully study" the concerns of stakeholders — a day after fresh rules that it proposed sank the Hong Kong-listed shares of Tencent, NetEase and Bilibili. The regulator, which also controls the publication of new games in the world's largest online gaming market, then said Monday that it approved more than 100 new domestic games, after saying Friday that it approved 40 imported games. On Wednesday, NetEase shares surged as much as 14% in early trading as Hong Kong markets returned from the Christmas holidays.
