After more than a decade of ban on video game consoles, the Chinese government has finally decided to relax its guidelines and will allow video game makers to manufacture and sell their gaming devices anywhere in the country. Video game consoles were first banned in 2000 over concerns that these games would have a negative mental and physical affect on the development of children. However, last year, the country allowed game makers to operate in an experimental free trade zone with certain restrictions.

A little late on that one, considering how many smartphones there are in China and how many games you can play on 'em.
