Twitch is banned for users in China

  • 28

Twitch has been recently banned in China. First, the ban began with its website to eventually reach its app on Itunes. Twitch has confirmed the ban but with no explanation. The ban began in the Mainlands on China to eventually hitting every part the of country in the past week.

Twitch for Chinese gamers was the only way they could watch Asia Games and other esports. Making the third highest used free app on Itunes in the country. This is probably the reason why it was banned in the first place. For instance, Youtube is banned in China for uploading a riot video hat happened in the country. China claimed that the video was fake and banned Youtube for it. China clearly wants to have a strict grip on content being shown in the country.
