The PC game, "Hearts of Iron", was accused of distorting historical facts in describing the Fascist regimes of Japan, Germany and Italy during World War II.

Moreover, "Manchuria", "West Xinjiang", and "Tibet" appeared as independent sovereign countries in the maps of the game. In addition, it even included China\'s Taiwan province as the territory of Japan at the beginning of the game.

"All these severely distort historical facts and violate China\'s gaming and Internet service regulations," the MOC said. "The game should be immediately prohibited."

All websites are banned from releasing the game and all the CD-ROM game copies will be confiscated, the MOC said, and the sellers will be punished according to law.
Internet bars that provide downloads of the game or fail to stop those Internet surfers who download, install or play the game, will be fined or even ordered to stop business.

Well good thing the game is the worst in the series. I hope they still are allowed to play Europa Universalis II and Victoria: An Empire Under the Sun. :)

Here is a funny comment.

The intention of the Swedish game maker is clear. China not only should ban it\'s product, such company should be classified as anti-China, a terrorists organisation with an attempt to divide up or calving China for the benefit of the Western colonial powers!!!!!!
Why didn\'t that company making games that Alaska is a separate country; so as Hawaii; California and New Mexico are under Mexico, not the United States??????

Fanatics are always funny. :D

-communist

well, except for their horrible paranoia, large nuclear arsenal, massive airforce, and agressive territory control.  Sure must be wierd to live in a place where you can\'t play fictional/non-fictional games that don\'t have their version of history in them.... 1984 anyone?
