China Finally Lifts Ban on Video Game Consoles

Little did many know that China in 2000 placed a 15 year ban on the manufacture and sales of Video Game Consoles in the entire territory of the People Republic of China amidst fear of impacting negatively on the mental and physical development of Chinese children.

Since the ban, gamers in the country have shifted attention to PC, mobile and web based games for their gaming pleasures.

It was gathered that last year, China eased restriction in some part of Shanghai free trade zone for console makers to operate on experimental bases.
