In digital entertainment, Li reported that Garena delivered a strong first-half performance, with Free Fire sustaining engagement, expanding into more global markets, and positioning itself as an evergreen franchise. He added that Garena is exploring new genres, markets, and AI-driven gaming experiences, and raised full-year guidance, expecting bookings to grow more than 30% in 2025 Y/Y.
