Pokemon GO being blocked from release in China due to 'security risk' concerns by state censor

Pokemon GO isn't available in China, one of the biggest mobile markets out there. Niantic, Pokemon Co. and Nintendo would love to have the game available there, but it's not happening at this point. The Chinese state censor has said Pokemon GO is blocked from release in China due to security risks that need to be evaluated. More specifically, these concerns include "a threat to geographical information security and the threat to transport and the personal safety of consumers."
