DJ China's Emphasis on Young Gamers Might Not Mean Further Tightening -- Market Talk

DJ中國對年輕遊戲玩家的重視可能並不意味着進一步收緊-市場言論

0820 GMT - China's recent emphasis on the gaming habits of young people might not be a sign the sector would come under regulatory scrutiny as many investors fear, Jefferies says. A state media outlet on Tuesday criticized videogames as "opium for the mind" and called for tougher regulation, sending shares of major game developers including tech giant Tencent tumbling more than 10%. Jefferies points out that regulators sound supportive of the online-gaming industry, and that the protection of young users has been a continuing focus and likely won't lead to major policy changes. Chinese authorities reiterated their support for the online-game sector at a major industry conference last week, it notes. (yifan.wang@wsj.com)

0820GMT-傑富瑞(Jefferies)表示，中國最近對年輕人遊戲習慣的強調可能不是一個跡象，表明該行業將像許多投資者擔心的那樣受到監管審查。週二，一家官方媒體批評視頻遊戲是“精神鴉片”，並呼籲加強監管，導致包括科技巨頭騰訊控股在內的主要遊戲開發商的股價暴跌超過10%。傑富瑞指出，監管機構聽起來支持網絡遊戲行業，保護年輕用户一直是一個持續關注的問題，可能不會導致重大的政策變化。報告指出，中國當局在上週的一次重要行業會議上重申了對網絡遊戲行業的支持。(yifan.wang@wsj.com)
