Pokemon Go has more than 500 million loyal players in most countries in the world. Although the most popular mobile games in the world, in fact Pokemon Go banned in China until today.
In a recent interview, John Hanke, CEO of Niantic Labs, said, "We really want to bring the game (Pokemon Go) in order to be played in China."
In order to realize the plan, Niantic Labs eventually partnered with the famous Chinese Internet technology company, NetEase.
China has a strict policy if any foreign companies want to launch their various products in the country.
Although it has penetrated the thick wall of the barrier, it remains unclear how developers can overcome government regulatory concerns.
Previously, Chinese authorities banned Augmented Reality (AR) based games released in the Bamboo Curtain Country for fear of endangering their players' lives, potentially threatening national security, society and property.
Although not getting a definite date, Pokemon Go plans will be downloaded and played in China in 2018.
