Tencent Apologizes for Sexually Graphic Game at Annual Party

Tencent Holdings Ltd. apologized for a sexually suggestive game organized at a division’s annual party, after video of the onstage display ignited criticism and discussion about the challenges women still face in China’s technology community.

Attendees at the instant messaging department’s annual dinner posted footage of kneeling female staff seemingly trying to prise open water bottles tucked between men’s legs -- with their mouths. The video footage was posted online and circulated on Twitter and other social media.
