Hey,
Did anyone hear about the new regulations in China? Developers apparently have to get their apps approved by the censorship organism and if they don’t, they’ll be removed on January 1st.
This got me worried so I contacted Apple and here’s their answer: “Please consult with your regulatory experts to gain a full understanding of this regulation. You can also read the full text of the regulation at

Obviously, that doesn’t help.
Is anyone else worried about this situation?

If the following article is accurate, then China is a gone market. The rules are Draconian and expensive.

They do it just for the show.
The censorship organism really smacked them with the ban hammer didnt they (hint not at all, everything is illegal in China).
F*ck the Chinese.

On the other hand, no big loss. They'll just rip off your game anyway. Chinese are NOT paying customers. I will just avoid the Chinese market going forward.
And f*ck Apple too. This is the stupid link regarding the new rule, they posted on itunesconnect.

Who in the f*ck, other than Chinese can read that Chicken Scratching. The biggest Corporation in the world can't be bothered to translate that into English or other languages? Thanks Apple.
1. Removed Chinsese from my localisation files.
2. Opened up iTunes, selected the Chinese localisation, then clicked delete.
Done.
