NTES

TCEHY

Shares of Tencent Holdings Ltd (OTC:TCEHY) and NetEase Inc (NASDAQ:NTES) rebounded after China's National Press and Publication Administration (NPPA) signaled a softer regulatory stance on gaming. Tencent's shares rose by 3% and NetEase's by 14% after the NPPA announced the approval of 105 new domestic online games, including titles from both companies. This comes after a draft regulation aimed at curbing in-game spending caused a sharp decline in gaming stocks. The NPPA's recent actions suggest continued support for the industry despite regulatory concerns.

Apple Inc. (AAPL) is appealing a sales ban on its smartwatches imposed by the U.S. International Trade Commission due to a patent dispute with Masimo Corp. (MASI).

Apple has submitted an emergency motion for a temporary suspension of the ban and released a software update to address the patent issue. The U.S. customs agency will decide on the approval of these changes on Jan. 12. The ban could cost Apple $300-$400 million in holiday sales.
