The Chinese eCommerce leader has now shed over 6.0% from its share price over the past week, and nearly 15.0% over the past month.

The Chinese government crackdown on tech industries continues to get worse as the CCP now has its focus on gaming. The government is now going to slow down its approvals for new online game releases, while trying to prevent or at least limit how much these gaming firms can profit off of children. Shares of Tencent (TCEHY) were down 2.84% on Thursday, while shares of Tencent-backed Sea Limited (NYSE:SE) were down 6.17% on the news. Sea Limited also announced a $6 billion capital raise of ADSs and convertible notes.

Despite the ongoing investigations and scandals, AliBaba continues to invest in startups and other companies to expand its portfolio. AliBaba’s logistics segment, Cainiao, invested in a last mile locker service for European customers of its eCommerce platforms. Rather than wait around for drivers, customers can now go pick up their packages at their leisure, which reduces the carbon footprint of the process. AliBaba also invested in Vietnamese food chain HomeFarm, as the company continues to reach further into the Southeast Asian market.
