It's interesting to me that this is regarded as anything short of Apple engaging in state-mandated censorship.

IMO the headline should be Apple censors 39,000 apps to comply with Chinese law.

In what world do you think this it is OK not take action? Set aside what ever you think about China "The takedowns come amid a crackdown on unlicensed games by Chinese authorities." unlicensed, plain and simple for ya there

A government requiring a license for publishing is censorship.

I miss the days when major players in the game gave the middle finger and just let governments do the corrupt blocking.
