In China, that is, for listing Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, and Tibet as independent countries.

Any Web site that offered downloads of the game would be fined up to $1,210, Xinhua said, quoting an order from the Ministry of Culture.


Cybercafes that failed to prevent players from downloading, installing or playing the game would be fined as much as $1,815, it added.


Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau were listed as independent countries in the game, and the Himalayan region of Tibet, which Chinese troops occupied in 1950, is called "Chinese Tibet," which elevated it to the same level as China itself, Xinhua said.

If the items said made in "Independent Taiwan", then my guess would be yes.

But i would guess made in labels are not as prevelent in China as they are in the west

The Chinese won't have to worry about that, Bush is only racist towards muslims.
