China approves 44 new foreign video game titles, the first batch to be allowed to hit the market since an industry crackdown to rein in minors' gaming habits

China's video game market shrank more than 19 percent year-on-year in November, according to a Wednesday report by Chinese gaming consultancy Gamma Data.

China's gaming regulator, the National Press and Publication Administration, said on Wednesday it had approved 44 new imported games in December including Nintendo's Pokemon Unite. Earlier this month, China granted homegrown tech giant Tencent its first video game licence in 18 months, ending a dry spell that had threatened its position as the world's top game maker.Beijing moved against the country's vibrant gaming sector last August as part of a sprawling crackdown on big tech companies, including a cap on the amount of time children could spend playing games.
