At the beginning of January, China announced the removal of the fourteen-year ban on all gaming consoles. According to the decree, companies will be allowed to produce the gaming machine in the Shanghai Free Trade Zone. Now two months after the ban has been uplifted, the Chinese government attempts to implement changes that will further protect their children. A recent post on the State Councils legal affairs website, proposed a ban on all video game advertisements in textbooks, school buses, school uniforms, and programming geared towards children from elementary school to junior high.
