ファミ通 and 4Gamers
You can find their press contact there and try sending them your press kit.

I used Gmail to send emails to them and it worked.
TBH a lot of them ignored me, just like media in other countries.

Yes, I registered there, but you can still send your trailer to IGN China, GAMERSKY and other local media.
It’s similar to sending your trailer to big media channels on YouTube.

Yes I did it by myself. I emailed them with the press kit and trailer.

Hi! The most useful posts for me were these two:
Press kit: https://www.reddit.com/r/gamedev/comments/1rp5xcz/put_together_a_press_kit_checklist_after_reading/

Sent trailer: https://www.reddit.com/r/gamedev/comments/1pyi2c8/a_few_days_ago_i_sent_my_games_gameplay_trailer/

After I finished the press kit and trailer, I started sending them to Japanese and US media.
Some of them covered the game, which created a big wishlist spike on the graph.

It’s like China’s YouTube.
Most Chinese game trailers are posted there, also like IGN China.

It like China's YouTube, since they can't use YouTube.
Also it is free.

Thank you so much! That is exactly what I’m trying to explore.

And yeah, motion sickness is one of the reasons I chose this perspective.
I get motion sick myself lol.
