Intellectual Property Protection in China http://www.chinaipr.gov.cn/news/index.shtml offers some interesting articles that allows readers to understand the stance taken in China. The official stance is that foreign enterprises are banned from online game services http://www.chinaipr.gov.cn/news/government/555715.shtml. But this also means that if one finds a Chinese online gaming company trying to avoid Chinese regulations, namely pretending not to be a Chinese company, they can report them to the Chinese authorities. In this respect the Peoples Republic of China have offered westerners the tools with which to challenge some “interesting” local online game producers too. All is fair in love and war.

Of course it's not to our advantage, but that doesn't make it inconsistent. We have the same thing within the English-speaking world. Certain groups try to hijack government agencies to promote actions that they consider to be moral while preventing actions that they consider immoral.
