Chinese online education platform 51 Talk has occupied a large share in the domestic market with its online courses provided by Philippine English-speaking teachers.After the Chinese authorities issued a guideline in July on regulating the tutoring market to ease the burden on students in compulsory education,the company issued a statement on August 9 that it would stop selling courses by foreign teachers to domestic teenage students from that day onward,and shift its focus toward adult English teaching-also a key component of its business.
