A regulatory policy was put into place to allow further cooperation between games industry companies and other e-commerce companies located in mainland China and Taiwan. Taiwanese media stated that with the new agreement Taiwanese-headquartered companies can now own up to 55% of companies located in mainland China, and that the censorship period for Taiwanese games to be launched in mainland China will be shortened.

Officially all content review processes are equal for foreign games, and domestically developed games are allowed some short cuts, but this new agreement would make Taiwanese developed games more akin to those domestically developed games from mainland China as opposed to being looked at as foreign games.
