Tencent-Backed Black Myth: Wukong Gives China’s Gaming Industry a Shot in the Arm (Caixin)
2024-08-21
The global debut of Black Myth: Wukong, a Tencent Holdings Ltd.-backed video game, has generated a level of public excitement not seen in the gaming industry for years. The action-adventure role-playing title, available on PC and PlayStation 5 (PS5), is based on the Chinese mythological figure Monkey King and classic Chinese novel “Journey to the West.” It garnered more than 2.1 million concurrent players on Steam upon its release on Tuesday, surpassing the popularity of other top single-player titles like Cyberpunk 2077 and Elden Ring, according to data tracker SteamDB. Sales of the PS5 on Sony Group Corp.’s official store on Chinese e-commerce platform Tmall more than doubled in the week leading up to Wukong’s release from the same period a year earlier.

China’s Banks Approve $196 Billion in Loans to Support New Home Delivery (Caixin)
2024-08-22
Chinese banks have committed 1.4 trillion yuan ($196 billion) in loans to support more than 5,000 real estate projects that qualify for a financing support program aimed at reviving the struggling housing sector. The funding was approved under a financing coordination mechanism launched in January, designed to ensure viable projects can secure the finance needed to complete construction and deliver new homes to their owners. A total of 5,391 projects have been selected by local authorities for a whitelist to access this support, Liao Yuanyuan, a senior official at the National Financial Regulatory Administration (NFRA), said at a briefing on Wednesday. In January, the NFRA and the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development (MHURD) established a coordinated financing mechanism for the property sector. Under it, local governments and banks assess individual housing projects, rather than the developers behind them, and approve a whitelist of projects eligible for targeted support.
