Tencent

Tencent has proposed changes to gameplay limitations in Honor of Kings, the top-grossing game worldwide for multiple months this year.

The country’s video games sector is the latest target of Chinese authorities.

Tencent said it is performing a “security upgrade” before new users can sign up.

Tencent’s music arm has problems beyond antitrust matters, and other platforms are keen to take advantage in a promising market.

Even as the pandemic’s impact ebbs in China, there is residual demand for teleconferencing in education and healthcare.

The ramifications are multifold, and may significantly reshape how Pinduoduo and ByteDance build their revenue streams and user pools.

Huya and Douyu are the two most popular video game streaming platforms in China. Tencent would have gained more than 67% voting power in the merged enterprise.

China’s internet sector has long been cleaved into two camps, but that may change soon.
