Just when Register to unlock hidden link in China (they were even Register to unlock hidden link next month), they hit a huge snag: China's Register to unlock hidden link (GAPP) office has apparently Register to unlock hidden link and told the company to stop collecting subscriptions and signing up new subscribers. They've also passed on the company's application to go into business, and have called the new subscription signups "illegal behavior," threatening even suspension of the company's Internet service.

We're not sure what happens from here -- Register to unlock hidden link has also said that the suspension of the review is "not appropriate," especially since the content under review had already been Register to unlock hidden link, which may mean that it will be overturned just as quickly as it went down (and the game will be back in business before long). On the other hand, Netease may have jumped the gun -- they've been Register to unlock hidden link, which they apparently weren't supposed to do without official GAPP approval (and we've heard before that GAPP might just want to Register to unlock hidden link as long as possible). We'll keep an eye on the issue -- most analysts are saying that despite the threats, this is Register to unlock hidden link, and they should still be back to collecting payments for the game soon.

Update: Stranger and stranger -- Register to unlock hidden link saying they've gotten no official word from GAPP outside of the official press release. When you consider that along with the Ministry of Culture's comments, it seems that the government isn't quite sure whether they're approving the content or not.
