In order to maintain order and protect intellectual property rights, the culture department undertook a large-scale crackdown on illegally operated game and entertainment venues in April this year.

Targeting Gourmet Food Town in Xiangshan District, New Building Complex at the north of Ziyou Road in Qixing District and Huaqiao Building Complex on Zhiyou Road, the culture department clamped down on 10 unlicensed game venues and also issued the “Notice to Cease Illegal Operating Activities”.

To strengthen the administration of the e-game and amusement market, the culture department announced the “Market Access Model and Type Guide Directory for the First Group of Game and Amusement Machines”.

As of April 30, based on the “guide directory”, the culture administrative department has strengthened the administration of machine models at game and entertainment venues.

All premises should use the machine models that are legally manufactured and imported and have passed the inspection of the culture department. Also, the culture administration department shall conduct law enforcement inspections on all premises in the city and penalize those premises that provide game models which have not been inspected.
