Heres an article I found when surfing all about NYT: GAPP and Ministry of Culture clashing over Chinese WoW regulation

The New York Times has brought its journalistic bear to the story earlier this week about China deciding not to approve WoW ’s release over there under new service provider Netease, and it seems what we thought was confusion between two agencies has turned into a war. One one side, you have the General Administration of Press and Publication (GAPP), who earlier this week said that Netease ( WoW ’s local provider of Blizzard’s game in China) could not legally be collecting subscriptions on a game that GAPP hadn’t yet approved. But on the other side is the Ministry of Culture , who did approve WoW ’s content when it was run by The9 , and are now saying that GAPP “overstepped its authority” by thinking it could “penalize online gaming” at all. Which means that the silly game of World of Warcraft has fallen smack dab in between two government agencies lobbying for power. In the past, says the NYT, GAPP has approved games pre-release, and the Ministry of Culture has overseen games once they’ve started running online. But WoW is a weird exception (it has been online for a few years already, and only went offline when Blizzard switched providers), and it looks like both agencies are grabbing for power and the sizable fees that come along with regulation. If they continue to clash, it’ll be up to the State Council, China’s cabinet, to determine who’s in charge. And the NYT says if that happens, the Ministry of Culture has the edge, with lots of friends in the cabinet already. Meanwhile, Netease hasn’t taken the game offline yet , apparently — they still haven’t been given official notice to do so. There’s no word on how long this will take to shake out, but even China’s players are tired of the fighting; they just want to get back into Azeroth and play. Thanks to everyone who sent this in!
