The Chinese GAPP & NCA have re-iterated and apparently strengthened their regulatory powers over online games operated out of China, requiring preapproval before any game can be launched, and completely forbidding any foreign investment in Chinese operators of online games. The announcements had an immediate impact on major operator NetEase which saw its stock price fall more than 5pc. NetEase has operated WoW in China since June of this year, back online just weeks ago after months of downtime.

No worries Apujanata, I realize no one is going to stop in and correct this market.
The only person who can do this is Zukaus, and he is playing illogically. I have no problem pointing this out ad nauseum :)
