劉熾平 網審新規對騰訊影響不大

Tencent, Asia’s most valuable listed technology company, said new Chinese government regulations aimed at limiting chat applications would not hurt its business model, which depends overwhelmingly on drawing users of its popular QQ and WeChat instant messaging apps.

亞洲市值最高的上市科技公司騰訊(Tencent)表示，中國政府旨在限制聊天應用的新規不會影響其商業模式，這種模式極度依賴吸引其廣受歡迎的即時通訊應用QQ和微信(WeChat)的用戶。

During a conference call on Wednesday following the publication of quarterly earnings, Martin Lau, Tencent’s president, said the requirement for users to register under their full names would not present a huge hurdle for many who already provide their mobile phone numbers in order to register.

在週三發佈季度財報後舉行的電話會議上，騰訊總裁劉熾平(Martin Lau)說，對於許多已經用手機號註冊的用戶來說，實名制要求並不會造成很大的障礙。

“The requirement that users use their real names is already there” because they have to register their mobile phones, he said

他表示，由於用戶需要用手機號註冊，“對於用戶使用真名的要求已經存在”。

He said other regulations pertained exclusively to public accounts, or blogs, which are henceforth required to refrain from publishing “news” without a specific permission to do so. He said the public accounts were a minor part of WeChat’s user base, adding that the regulations are “not a big negative”.

劉熾平表示，其他規定只適用公衆賬號（即博客）。今後公衆賬號需要特定的許可纔可以發佈“新聞”。他說，公衆賬號只佔微信用戶羣的一小部分，並補充稱，新規“負面影響不大”。

Tencent dominates instant messaging in China, which is growing rapidly as smartphones become cheaper and more ubiquitous. WeChat and QQ together have more than 1bn registered users.

騰訊主導着中國即時通訊服務。隨着智能手機變得更加便宜和普遍，中國的即時通訊服務正在飛速發展。微信和QQ的註冊用戶總量超過了10億人。

The company on Wednesday posted quarterly earnings that beat analyst estimates as net income for the second quarter rose 59 per cent year on year to Rmb5.84bn ($949m), slightly above analyst estimates of Rmb5.73bn. Revenue climbed 37 per cent to Rmb19.75bn.

騰訊在週三發佈的季度盈利超過了分析師預期，第二季度淨利潤同比增長59%，至58.4億元人民幣（合9.49億美元），略微超過了之前分析師估計的57.3億元人民幣。營收則攀升37%，至197.5億元人民幣。
