Amazing that virtual money could start to have an impact on the national currency. That’s right, it was the QQ coins.

I've heard from my chinese friends that this regulation was mostly targetted at QQ coins, which are virtual currency for which, you can buy real goods and they were a subject to trades on online auctions. Tencent company just wanted to stop people selling off the coins to each other for real money. Yeah, but I’ve heard to doesn’t concern so-popluar “gold farming” in games like many news sites stated.

It does not restrict a person or group's ability to sell virtual items to people outside of the PRC. The new law only restricts domestic trading in virtual items for real currency.

One of the other things I'm kinda interested in is any new legislation involving the internet. Plus, virtual property is a huge revenue source for Chinese hackers. I'd be really interested in looking over what they passed. Thanks! CBRP1R8,

While one attack here and there isn't a huge problem, hundreds of them start to add up. One target I've seen them go after again and again is online game startups in China. I would guess that for a majority of industries, online access isn't essential but for the gaming community it is absolutely necessary. Blackd0t,

Few days ago I've heard about the situation of some chinese guy contacting the chinese customer service who said that if they don't pay him 300RMB he will launch a DDoS attack on their website, which is pretty funny because 300RMB is only around 50$. The DDoS didn't last long as he was doing it only from 20-40 ips which could be easily blocked. Seems the DDoS attacks in China are getting more popular amongst script kiddies.
