The next guest in our In the Hot Seat interview series is Claire Yang, overseas business development lead at Kingsoft, who we spoke to ahead of her appearance at Pocket Gamer Connects Summit Shanghai on July 29th.
Claire Yang, the overseas business development lead at Kingsoft, shared insights on the challenges Western developers face in penetrating the Chinese mobile games market.
