In February 2022, the media (CITIC) index fell by 1.37%, and the market was relatively flat. After a major adjustment in January, the theme of the yuan universe has not yet regained its popularity. In addition, in February, due to market rumors, some leading companies in the industry still made significant adjustments against the background that the annual report performance exceeded expectations, reflecting the market's concern about supervision and lack of confidence. In March, we focused on going to sea and policy developments before and after the two sessions. All sectors of media are stepping up efforts to go to sea, including games, video, marketing, online text and other fields.
