China forced Apple to remove any app where the developer isn't registered in China. Meaning they asked Apple to remove 95% of the apps and games available in the App Store.

Poor iPhone users, basically they will get a "wechat handheld" and that's it...

Exactly. The store is irrelevant, registration is what China is after.

Also, you’re wrong about developers bypassing registration. That kind of shit isn’t possible in China.
