Following the publication of the sixth edition of Pillar Legal's primer on the regulation of China's gaming industry, I spoke with Charles Yu (俞超), a partner at the firm and head of its Shanghai office.  Our conversation put 2021's regulatory campaign into the broader context of the Chinese government's struggle to combat gaming addiction; the "murky" process for new games to be licensed; the challenges of maintaining digital privacy; how the policy has turned to be supportive again; and how Chinese firms have responded by setting their sights on overseas markets.
