    If you ask me - you should be more worried about Chinese Censorship than just dragon like stuff being hurt.
    https://www.pcgamesn.com/china-game-regulations

    Here's one snippet from the article

    Among the new rules, all text must be Simplified Chinese. Analyst group Niko Partners says “we have seen cases where games were rejected simply for having words like ‘Winner’ and ‘Attack’ show up on screen in English instead of Simplified Chinese.” Pools of blood are forbidden, and dead bodies can only stay on screen for a few seconds at a time.

    EDIT: Please don't take what I'm saying in a negative manner. I'm only trying to say - one if they plan on doing the Chinese Market better stay up-to-date on the regulations. At least according to the article - only "11.8%" games on the market came from outside China in 2019. So be sure you stay up-to-date on regulations and only them regulations.

    Well, considering that for the first half of 2019 (and most of 2018) they had completely paused accepting foreign games, 11.8% is pretty good.

    To the OP, if your games are popular in China, find a Chinese fan and have a chat.
