"China will ban video games that are hostile to the country, or don&amp;#039;t conform with the government&amp;#039;s outlook, it has been revealed. China recently lifted a 14-year sales ban on foreign consoles, but only for machines manufactured in Shanghai&amp;#039;s free-trade zone.  China&amp;#039;s Ministry of Culture, headed by Cai Wu, told members of the press (via Bloomberg) that the department would be responsible for drafting rules governing the sale of video games and consoles. &amp;quot;Things that are hostile to China, or not in conformity with the outlook of China&amp;#039;s government, won&amp;#039;t be allowed,&amp;quot; Cai Wu explained. &amp;quot;We want to open the window a crack to get some fresh air, but we still need a screen to block the flies and mosquitoes,&amp;quot; he added. China recently banned Battlefield 4 following the release of its &amp;#039;China Rising&amp;#039; DLC pack.  The Ministry of Culture described the EA shooter as &amp;quot;an aggressive attack on... [China&amp;#039;s] culture&amp;quot;. Keen to protect Chinese youth from the negative impact of video game consoles, internationally manufactured devices were banned from the region in the year 2000.  PC gaming has increased in popularity ever since, contributing two thirds to a $14 billion industry. A console black market has also boomed.  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
