may 1, 2017 - “Regulations on Online Game Operation” was officially implemented.

Description:

This policy standardized the operation and management of online games in China, including mobile games, which were also brought under the anti-addiction system. It covered areas such as user account systems, virtual currency management, and content supervision, aiming to strengthen oversight of the rapidly growing online gaming industry and protect minors.

Another major provision required real-name registration using valid identification, marking a significant step toward establishing a state-regulated, identity-based online gaming environment.
