Tencent revenues accelerate as China emerges from Covid lockdowns
放开防疫限制后腾讯营收增长加速
Tech group reverses last year’s sales decline with 11% rise for the first quarter
随着世界第二大经济体在清零防疫政策结束后缓慢恢复元气，这家社交媒体和游戏集团报告首季营收同比增长11%，至1500亿元人民币。
Chinese tech giant Tencent’s revenues accelerated in the first quarter as the world’s second-largest economy lurched back to life after the ending of the country’s zero-Covid policy.
中国科技巨头腾讯(Tencent)第一季度营收加速增长，其背景是世界第二大经济体在清零防疫政策结束后缓慢恢复元气。
The social media and gaming group on Wednesday reported an 11 per cent rise in revenue to Rmb150bn ($21bn) in the three months to March, compared with a year ago. Its net profit rose 10 per cent to Rmb25.8bn.
这家社交媒体和游戏集团周三报告，在截至3月的三个月期间，营收同比增长11%，达到1500亿元人民币（合210亿美元）。其净利润增长10%，至258亿元人民币。
The turnround comes after Tencent’s revenue fell 1 per cent last year, the company’s first annual sales decline on record, hit by Beijing’s tough zero-Covid policies that crimped advertising and spending on the group’s ubiquitous WeChat app.
此前腾讯去年营收下降1%，是该公司有记录以来首次年度销售额下降，原因是北京方面严厉的清零政策影响了该集团拥有大量用户的微信(WeChat)应用上的广告和支出。
