The country's Ministry of Culture has issued a notice banning all material retailed to the game in any form, including the game itself, related downloads, demos, patches and even news reports. According to PCGames.com.cn [Chinese language], Battlefield 4 has been characterized as illegal game on the grounds that the game endangers national security and cultural aggression."

The European cradle-to-grave welfare state is an unsustainable boondoggle that's bankrupting the continent through deficit spending. Those deficits will never be paid back short of hyperinflation because Europe has declining birth rates that will make it impossible maintain the current welfare state.
If you want to know what the future of Europe looks like, look at Greece.
