Double Reduction

On July 24, 2021, the General Offices of the Party Central Committee and the State Council issued the “double reduction” opinions on homework and off-campus tutoring. Existing tutoring companies for school subjects had to register as non-profit organizations. They could no longer raise capital on stock markets. No new ones would be approved.

Chinese Wikipedia sums up the effect: the policy “dealt a severe blow to the private education industry in mainland China.”
