Microsoft launches Chinese-language Xbox Live site

4.7

Xbox Live now has a Chinese-language site, prompting users to learn about Xbox Live and Windows 8 integration. Xbox Live is not available in China, most likely because of the country's ban on external social networking sites, WMPoweruser notes.

The sign up and sign in links on Xbox Live's Simplified Chinese page take users to English pages, transferring them to American servers. It's unclear if this means Microsoft has found a loophole that will allow Xbox Live to function officially in China, but this is a site in the right direction.

Machen I've seen people from China with 2 letter Gamertags and 9 years tenure. It must be extremely easy to pick an xbox up over there to say they aren't allowed. They've had them since day 1 haha.

Thats exactly what I was thinking!
