jun 12, 2000 - "Video Game Console Ban"

Description:

The so-called "Video Game Console Ban" was the sixth part of a bill targeting video game related places such as arcades and Internet cafe. Although it intended to restrict these business entities, especially the illegal ones, the policy was expanded to include home consoles and handheld consoles due to the vague usage of "video games". However, the ban was poorly enforced. Therefore, there could be a discussion on how much impact this bill did to game consoles in China.
