Interesting that the consoles being region free is allowed in China since their govt can be quite strict with censorship. As Sony and the PS4 demonstrated it`s okay to do, I don`t see why MS can`t do the same with theirs. I don`t really see a problem with MS doing this.

We don't know it's allowed or not, Sony and MS never publicly announced "it's region free now".

Like the recent update MS just secretly unlock it.

With how China`s history is with their restrictions, I find it a little hard to believe they would let something like this slip unnoticed...
