In a social media post, the company said it was introducing the measures after “relevant authorities” requested greater protection of minors in gaming and for companies to carry out their “societal responsibility”. Shares in Tencent, whose online games business generated Rmb39.1bn ($6bn) in the first quarter and accounted for 30 per cent of its total revenues, fell as much as 10.8 per cent in Hong Kong before paring losses to close down 6.6 per cent. That left the stock down almost a quarter in the past month. The renewed volatility came after China’s tech stocks notched their worst month since the global financial crisis in July following an unprecedented regulatory campaign against tech sectors including education, ride-hailing and social media. Tencent also raised three proposals for the entire industry including strengthening systems to tackle gaming addiction and called for consideration of a complete ban for those younger than 12. The announcement from the Chinese internet giant came after an article in the Economic Information Daily newspaper said online video games had grown into “spiritual opium worth hundreds of billions”. One expert warned that “no industry?.?.?.?can develop in a way that destroys a generation”. 【词汇过关】 请写出下面文单词在文章中的中文意思。 1.share [?e?] n. ____________________________ 2.brand [br?nd] vt.____________________________; n. ____________________________ 3.minor [?ma?n?] n.________________
