Tencent stock tumbles after China crackdown hits growth
CNN
Tencent's stock suffered a sharp drop after the company reported its slowest-ever growth due to a bruising crackdown by China on the country's tech sector.
Shares in the Chinese social media and gaming giant tumbled around 6% in Hong Kong on Thursday after its US-listed shares closed 5.4% lower on Wall Street.
The stock plunge came after Tencent (TCEHY) reported revenue of 144.2 billion yuan ($22.6 billion) for the fourth quarter of 2021, up 8% from a year earlier. That's the slowest revenue growth since the company listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in 2004.

The photographer Alice Mann documented the increasingly lavish dances for five years in her new book, “The Night is Young.”
