After a surprisingly successful month in the territory, Chinese authorities have now blocked access to Twitch – Amazon’s massive game-streaming network – at a national level. As reported by Abacus and PC Gamer, the network reached new highs in China (becoming a top download on the iOS App Store) as people flocked to watch 2018 Asian Games esports events online that state broadcasters weren’t showing. The Chinese government’s reaction was a national-level block of all things Twitch, and the removal of its iOS app entirely. No official reason has been given.
