I thought the suspension was lifted prior(?) to the release of PS4. Or was that some kind of proposition at the time? At the time, I thought the ban was created to make the people of China increase the support and purchase of their domestic products. If I remember correctly, I think there was even a Chinese counterpart to the Wii. From the article, it's stating a different point that I thought I knew.
