China
In the People's Republic of China, airsoft guns, and all forms of military fire arms, are not legal. People do, however, buy and store them illegally. Most of the games were hosted by unsanctioned and illegal means. Sales and storage of airsoft guns is also illegal in Mainland China.
To avoid the government finding airsoft on line, various underground airsoft players often refer to AEG as "electric dog .
It is legal in China's SARs (Special Administrative Regions, such as Macau and Hong Kong), but may not be fired with a muzzle energy above two joules of kinetic energy, which consider as a firearm and needs registration, otherwise illegal.
Under the Section 13 of Cap 238 Firearms and Ammunition Ordinance of the Hong Kong Law, unrestricted firearms and ammunition requires a license. Those found in possession without a license could be fined HKD$100,000 and imprisonment for up to 14 years.
In Hong Kong, you are only allowed to play airsoft in private areas and non-country park areas and may not be revealed in public. Still, airsoft guns can be sold legally to people of unrestricted age. Manufacturing and import/exporting airsoft is also legal and free in Hong Kong and Macau.

Famous quotes containing the word china:
“The awakening of the people of China to the possibilities under free government is the most significant, if not the most momentous, event of our generation.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
“Anyone who tries to keep track of what is happening in China is going to end up by wearing all the skin of his left ear from twirling around on it.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
“It all ended with the circuslike whump of a monstrous box on the ear with which I knocked down the traitress who rolled up in a ball where she had collapsed, her eyes glistening at me through her spread fingers—all in all quite flattered, I think. Automatically, I searched for something to throw at her, saw the china sugar bowl I had given her for Easter, took the thing under my arm and went out, slamming the door.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
