Battlefield 4 has been banned in China after the release of the China Rising DLC. According to Techie News, the Chinese government accused Electronic Arts, publisher of the first-person shooter, for creating a form of cultural invasion.
China Rising is Battlefield 4's first expansion. Set on the Chinese mainland, it contains new maps, modes, vehicles, assignments, and weapons and follows the fictional story of Admiral Chang, who wants to overthrow the government.
With the release, China's Ministry of Culture wants to ban all forms of Battlefield 4, and plans to prohibit the sale of physical copies of the game and all related downloads, demos, patches, and news. PCGames.com.cn reports BF4 has been characterized as illegal on the grounds that it "endangers national security and cultural aggression."
