I do want to point out... China isn't the only nation that's censored government criticism. The US actually had an official policy (backed by congressionally passed law, executive orders, and obscure interpretations of copyright law that is now unconstitutional) that representing the US military and US postal workers in a negative light wasn't allowed. They got away with it for DECADES by leveraging uniform laws. I believe Seinfeld was the first American media that was allowed to portray the US postal service in a negative light, and that was only after a lawsuit that went all the way to the supreme court, where they eventually ruled that portrayal of uniforms in media was essential to criticism of the state, and that criticism was constitutionally protected. However, until the supreme court ruling, we literally couldn't do it legally. As a western nation. Until the 90s. This is ignoring everything that happened with McCarthyism and blacklists. China is definitely in the wrong. But we did many of the same things from a different political angle until only a few years ago.

Because new law in China requires Chinese citizens to be registered to play games... in part of the restrictions of playtime and open hours... So while Steam would not be illegal, using an international version of steam would be illegal for a Chinese citizen. Also, many people in other countries also use simplified Chinese so I'd say around 10~12% of current steam is Chinese. If they keep on using the international version of Steam they would be charged with multiple criminal charges.

As a Chinese live in China, talking something about policies and government in China is forbidden,(even in private situation, such as in the personal chat group that only contains less than 20 people, I know it because my account has been banned for it.every words you post on the internet are being checked, and if there is any word that be defined as ‘improper', your post will disappear in 1min.), although in the 21th century, I think most of the people in China should realize this is unreasonable and even against it, but the reality is, most of them just took it, and say nothing. ‘Yeah, China is imperfect, but there is much more positive things’, people say. Anyway, I think free speech is important, and as a Chinese(I was born in Beijing and lived in China for over 16yrs. I’ve got my foreign identity so I am going to leave this trash country soon), I can guarantee that there is some serious problems of free speech and other sides in China and in my opinion China should die ASAP.

I strongly disagree with Valves's approach: creating a chinese communist party approved version of steam (which is the same as a censored and government supervised version) is just supporting censorship in order to get money from the chinese market. that is an american company doing political censorship to support a criminal regime. Bottom line is, as Linus said, Valve has no guarantee that it's chinese version of steam won't be banned in the future.

American companies do the same thing here -- it's just that you're ok with it because they belong to a different political party. There's nothing worse than being lectured about censorship from someone on the left, the people that created cancel culture and push "hate speech" legislation. Who defines what hate is? Only people with absolute power: authoritarians. Cancel culture is a grass roots authoritarian movement, as hilarious as that is to say and you're treading in extremely dangerous waters once the government realizes that a large percentage of people are OK with that type of legislation. Canada is already doing this. The UK follows -- god have mercy on us if the United States mindless drones push legislation like this into the books.

Criticizing China from abroad without knowing anything about the culture and relying on your perception of it through western media outlets might be easy, but fundamentally flawed. You might be surprised if you knew how the average gamer in Xian sees your videos, reviewing and commenting on stuff from a western perspective. Maybe you'd be surprised about how many people (and remember, 1 in 4 people on this planet are Chinese) do not share the opinions you often share about innovation being the pinnacle of civilization and how competition is so good for the people. No worries though... Something tells me that soon enough the western world will take some much needed, although very abrupt lessons on the Chinese culture. In the meantime, you live in a free country so you can keep arresting Huawei officials as spies, support the oppressed Hong Kong & Xinjiang people and play Battlefield 4. After all, isn't that what we live for? I hope you sold some jackets with this video and you didn't jump on board the "let's blame China for everything" boat for nothing.

I am a Chinese player, but I am not unable to access the Steam international version now, and no one is using the Steam Chinese version. We have something called an accelerator here.

Also, it is illegal to invest and build a VPN in China...
