SHANGHAI (Reuters) – Hong Kong-listed shares of China online gaming giants Tencent Holdings and Netease rebounded on Wednesday, after regulators vowed to make improvements to their proposed gaming regulatory rules that dented investor sentiment.
Hong Kong shares of Netease opened up 13.9%, while Tencent holdings rose 3% at the open, after shares slumped in the previous session.
Chinese regulators announced on Friday a wide range of rules aimed at curbing spending and rewards that encourage video games, dealing a blow to the world’s biggest games market.
