The Australian and NZ dollars declined against their major
counterparts in the Asian session on Monday, as China's crackdown
on private tutoring companies and growing trade tensions between
Washington and Beijing dampened risk sentiment.
Chinese authorities introduced a new set of sweeping regulations
on private educators, which includes prohibiting tutoring for
profit in core school subjects to reduce financial pressures on
families.
The policy change also restricts foreign investment in the
sector through mergers and acquisitions, franchises, or variable
interest entity (VIEs) arrangements.
China's antitrust regulator ordered Tencent to end its exclusive

Minister Xie Feng said that the relationship between the world's
two largest economies "is now in a stalemate and faces serious
difficulties."
