China tightens regulations of online games - Joystiq:
According to the Associated Press, China is tightening content regulations for game makers in a country with 23 million online gamers. New controls in place require distributors to closely monitor games after some were found to include forbidden religious, political, pornographic and overly violent content. From the article: “Distributors must obtain approval to release new games and submit monthly monitoring reports confirming that operators haven’t added forbidden content, the Xinhua News Agency said.” State regulators said game makers conceal the content in question when applying for approval. They later upgrade the games with the improper content. Though China’s political doors are more open than ever before, full information exchange is still a sensitive issue.

They’re constantly tightening regulations on everything in China. What a terrible place to live. I would still like to visit there and bring back a wife that can cook, clean and mow the lawn.
