Same thing goes for the vita in china you can only use a main land china account on the thing anything will just block you. You can not even use a VPN to access a foriegn psn account on the ps4 its 100% impossible the only way it to import a ps4 as non Main land china ps4s can access a China psn.
Mainland China ps4 is nothing exciting they hardly have anything released because the government wont allow for alot of the ps4 games to be released and they made them edit rayman legends taking out the online or it was not allowed to be released. Want your call of duty or your GTA 5 well you cant have them there banned buy the China government.

My understanding is China requires the system and games to be Region Locked to be allowed in.
PS4 systems can only connect to PSN in China. Only China released games play in the PS4, and no others. China released games only work in the Chinese PS4.

The "PlayStation are Region Free Forever" wall is broken, other counties may follow suit. It's important we know how the landscape is changing. No fun getting a Limited Import that's not playable.

It is my understanding at this time all systems are region free. Buying anything retail should work as if released local except language and possibly the XO button switching.

The Vita is linked to the PSN ID that formats the Memory Card.
Digital items are linked to the region where purchased or the PSN region it is purchased.

This is why I suggested including the region of any posted devices, if they are Locked and if DLC is locked.

TERMS
Region Locked:
- Consoles: a gaming console can only play retail games released in the region
- Games: games can only play on consoles in the same region
- PSN: a gaming console is limited to connection with its regional PSN.
- DLC: a game is restricted to use only DLC from its region.
....Region Locked games are always DLC locked.
....Yet Region Free games that are DLC locked are playable in any region but a regional PSN account in that games region is required to D\L playable DLC.
