The Chinese regulator-approved titles included games from gaming giants Tencent Holdings Ltd (OTC:TCEHY) and NetEase.
These rigorous actions introduced before Christmas brought back recollections of the extensive crackdown on the tech sector in 2021. That crackdown had a widespread impact on multiple industries, such as e-commerce, entertainment, and online education.
NetEase stock gained over 20% year-to-date versus SPDR S&P 500 (NYSE:SPY) at 25%.
Price Action: NTES shares are trading higher by 4.49% at $91.57 on the last check Tuesday.
