Chinese skin traders just got a tax notice — and the CS2 community is panicking. Here's why you shouldn't be. C5 Game announced that users exceeding 100,000 RMB in transaction volume must register with the Chinese tax system. In this episode of de_news, I break down what this actually means for the CS2 skin market, why C5's status as a state-owned enterprise matters, why Buff163 and Youpin are unaffected (for now), and what happens to market behavior if China ever taxes skins across the board — including the lock-in effect, why tax loss harvesting doesn't exist in China, and how deadweight loss plays out differently in a growing market.
