The Cyberspace Administration of China continues to promote the "license and display" project for Internet news information services

To further regulate online dissemination and enhance the recognition of internet news and information services, the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) has been promoting the "licensed and displayed" initiative for internet news and information services this year. It has deployed guidance to local CACs to improve the quality and efficiency of approvals and urged 15 websites and platforms approved to provide internet news and information dissemination platform services, including Tencent, Douyin, Kuaishou, and Weibo, to optimize and improve their systems and strengthen verification of their service qualifications. A red "V" logo has been added to all public accounts approved to provide internet news and information services, essentially achieving full coverage of content formats including text, audio, live broadcasts, and short videos. Moving forward, the CAC will implement a systematized, procedural, and dynamic approach to promoting the "licensed and displayed" initiative for internet news and information services. It will also study and implement traffic support policies to help enhance the influence and reach of "Red V" accounts. Furthermore, it will vigorously address the production and dissemination of false and inaccurate news information, the impersonation of counterfeit news media, and the leasing, lending, or transfer of internet news and information service licenses. It will also severely crack down on those who seek illegal profits under the guise of public opinion oversight and undermine the online business environment, striving to foster a clean and transparent cyberspace.

Data shows that as of July 29th, the cumulative net inflow of southbound funds exceeded HK$840 billion this year, setting a new annual net inflow record and exceeding the net inflow of HK$807.869 billion in 2024.

All Hang Seng Index constituents with a total market capitalization exceeding HK$1 trillion rose, with Xiaomi Group-W, the largest gainer, rising by over 60%, and Tencent Holdings, the largest by market capitalization, rising by over 34%.
