We spend a couple of hours in the ocean plunging into the water, floating through gullies, looking for marine life, spotting seals and eventually stripping off and getting changed to go in search of the nearest pasty.

The rules -- which also forced tutoring platforms to turn their businesses non-profit and barred some classes during weekends and holidays -- are framed by Beijing as necessary to alleviate stress on overworked students and reduce educat

ByteDance has in recent years been one of China's tech darlings, being called the world's most valuable startup last year before getting embroiled in a geopolitical spat between the Chinese government and the Trump administration. China's willingness to crack down on its champion companies was displayed in July, when Alibaba and Tencent were among several companies fined for hosting content deemed harmful to minors. 

For the latter, we drive to Mousehole Harbour, down the tight cobbled lanes. Our guide Chris is upbeat and reassuring. Once wrapped up in winter wetsuit, boots, gloves and unflattering hood, the cold sea doesn't seem so intimidating. ‘I think coasteering is one of the purest forms of being in the water,' he says.

But once things were working, Tshilombo and others began studying online - from website design to computer science, graphic design and education - then looking for work, first from United Nations and aid group partners, then more broadly.

China has spent the past 10 months cracking down on its big tech companies, drawing up new regulations and tightening its control of the energetic sector. The day before the planned IPO, Chinese regulators pulled the plug, and the fintech company has since been restructured to come more directly under state control. It started dramatically last October: Jack Ma's Ant Group was planning to raise billions in the world's biggest IPO, which was expected to value the company at over $300 billion.

Two days after the New York IPO of Didi, a Uber-like ride hailer, Chinese regulators ordered Didi to stop signing up new customers and demanded app stores kick Didi off their platforms. Online tutoring companies were targeted in July, before regulators moved to tackling video game addiction in August by limiting the time kids can spend playing games. Jack Ma is China's most known business figure, but he's far from the only one to be targeted.

His revitalisation of ancient practices has made him a phenomenon. Wim Hof is a Dutch guru-like figure. In 2010, he set the record for longest time in full-body contact with ice at one hour and 44 minutes (it now stands at three hours and 28 seconds).

People under the age of 14 will access the app via Youth Mode, where their usage will be limited to 40 minutes a day, ByteDance said in a blog post. Additionally, this age group will only be able to access the Douyin app between 6 a.m.
