Nomura Instinet analyst Jialong Shi noted that over the weekend posts on Weibo said China's online game watchdogs will likely restart game reviews as early as September, adding that a few of his online gaming contacts have also heard lately from relevant watchdogs that the review of new games should restart soon. If game reviews do resume in September, Tencent's (TCEHY) PUBG Mobile and Fortnite are likely to receive licenses for monetization in Q4 at the earliest, said Shi, who believes Tencent and NetEase (NTES) would benefit from improved sentiment and outlooks if Chinese regulators restart reviews.
