Battlefield 4 Is Banned In China Over Controversial  DLC

December 27th, 2013 By Maya Mayfield

Battlefield 4 has been banned in China after its controversial release of China Rising DLC. The story was first reported on Techie News, stating the Chinese government are accusing Electronic Arts, publishers of the shoot-em-up for creating a form of cultural invasion.

China Rising the new contentious Battlefield 4 DLC is set on the mainland of China and it contains new gameplay modes, vehicles, maps, assignments, and weapons. The story is based off a fictional Admiral by the name of Chang, intent overthrowing the Chinese government.

This new DLC has really sparked yet another storm for EA to deal with, as China's Ministry of Culture wants to ban all sales and downloads of Battlefield 4 from the entire country, on the grounds of "danger to national security and cultural aggression," according to PCGames.com.cn.
EA declined making comments on this matter, but considering Battlefield 4 doesn't sell in China, we doubt the outcome of this ban, if it does indeed go ahead will matter to the studio anyway.
