Sony Interactive Entertainment president Tatsuo Eguchi and vice chairman Soeda Takehito announced it plans to launch the PlayStation 5 in Mainland China in Q2 2021. This news via senior analyst at Niko Partners Daniel Ahmad.
The PlayStation 5 console was approved for sale in December 2020. Sony is currently working on launching the console itself, as well as getting approval for software.
The PlayStation 4 launched in March 2015 in China, which was about a year and a half after the console first launched in other countries. This does mean the PlayStation 5 launch in China is happening much faster than its predecessor.
Sony China has confirmed that it plans to officially launch the PlayStation 5 in Mainland China during Q2 2021.

I hope this means they have enough confidence that the expected pick up in supply, will be not only be high but consistent enough to at least stabilise Western demand . otherwise they are gonna piss off a lot of gamers , even if it turns out to be just a small scale launch .
I thought there was a ban on consoles there.
