Here’s an English version translation of that news about Shuhei Yoshida and his remarks on the Chinese indie-game market (based on the 4Gamer & other media reporting):

According to a foreign media outlet, 4Gamer, when interviewed live at Weplay, Yoshida shared his impressions of the show and praised the rapidly growing Chinese independent game market. The former Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE) executive said he found “the speed of China’s game development unbelievable.” Not only are people moving around quickly, but game development itself is proceeding at an astonishing pace.

Yoshida recalled that many years ago, when he first attended events like ChinaJoy, many Chinese indie games felt quite similar: often, they were action games based on classical Chinese literature, with distinctive art styles.
“But now it’s completely different!” he said — now the difference between Chinese indie developers and overseas developers is “almost gone.” Chinese developers are creating original works of comparable quality to those of overseas developers.

He also pointed out that Chinese developers have “strong commercial sense.” “When I talked with people involved in projects like ‘Sony China Star’,” he said, “I could feel their entrepreneurial spirit. They seem not only interested in making games, but also have business brains.”
