How come no one or rarely anyone plays Call of Duty in China?

I was playing COD Black Ops on Playstation3 yesterday with my little nephew. I could help but notice before the game starts and at the menu screen where it's loading for players there is a map of the world on the button left screen. On the map you'll be able to see these little bright white dots that symbolize groups of people playing throughout the entire world.








You will mainly see people in America and Europe playing it but when you look at China (google it if don't know where it is) you don't see none. There is literally none you'll find maybe 3 dots on the east coast of China near the Sea and Taiwan but never on mainland China. Remember China is about the size of America.








You will also notice in the middle and heading towards the east coast of America there's alot more COD players. Is it that boring in the east coast?





DON'T GIVE ME THAT CRAP AND SAY IT BECAUSE IT IS A COMMUNIST COUNTRY.


I think it's maybe because America and China don't do game imports/exports. China do have their own game system from what I hear. I think it's only in food, cars, minerals, raw materials, electronic equipment, and clothing that they do trade with America.|||A number of reasons:



-Most urban centers are more to the east

-Call of Duty may not appeal to Chinese Gamers

-Bootleg consoles, such as the Polystation, are more popular due to its cheap cost

-The Playstation Network is not available in China (should have mentioned this first)



Those dots on the COD map are probably coming from the city Hong Kong, an east coast city in China but is technically not part of the Chinese Government. The rest are coming from South Korea or Japan|||East Coast sucks, I live right in the middle of it.








What can I say? China is smart. They know a bad video game fad when they see one. I've met a ton of them on Halo.|||i quite agree with Jersey Rebel's idea.
