Price information can be obtained at https://store.steamchina.com/api/appdetails?appids=<appid>&filters=price_overview.

But it seems that the packagedetails API does not exist.

The region code for Steam China is XC.

If I understand it correctly, Global Steam is still working in China. Then what are the reasons one should use the minimal "Steam" version that abides the regulations?

If there are no reasons, please ping me again when the Chinese government blocks Global Steam

My reason is that there is a tax on purchasing games in Steam China. Screenshot_20210211-024222.jpg

If there are substantial taxes, perhaps Steam Global can continue to exist in Mainland China.

But I don’t think Steam Global will be banned.

From the user's point of view, it is also to comply with legal requirements as much as possible.

So the taxes are a pro Steam China argument?

In addition, I can't find other advantages. :( Valve's inattention to Steam China is beyond my expectations. I am looking for ways to communicate with Valve to improve it.

https://steamdb.info/blog/steam-china-launched/ According to SteamDB, the site is pretty much the same minus the community stuff, so you could just fork the repo and maintain a light-weight Steam China version without the unreachable community-related features/regional pricing info...etc.

The only available things of the steam community are the profile pages, their game list and inventory, but this may change in the future.
