Xinhua reports that China’s Ministry of Culture has banned a computer game for “distorting history and damaging China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity”. The PC game, “Hearts of Iron“, was accused of distorting historical facts in describing “Manchuria”, “West Xinjiang”, and “Tibet” as independent sovereign countries in the maps of the game. “All these severely distort historical facts and violate China’s gaming and Internet service regulations,” the Ministry’s Game Products Censorship Committee said. “The game should be immediately prohibited.” ¬§|/.
