China Joy opens in Shanghai

In the first half of the year, Chinese game developers reaped $8.5 billion revenue in the overseas markets, up 11.6 percent from a year ago. Domestic gaming companies have strong presence in markets such as the United States, Europe, Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia, said Yang Fang, vice-director of the Publishing Bureau of the Central Publicity Department.
