As Ahmad notes, not only is unclear why the store has been suspended, but it's unclear when it will return to normal function.
"The PlayStation Store -- PSN -- has been temporarily suspended in Mainland China from 7 am on May 10. No time or date given for resumption of services," said Ahmad. The official reason given is to carry out security upgrades. But it is unclear what this means exactly."
Ahmad continued:
"The only reason I'm posting is this, and I kid you not, is because an Xbox fanboy claimed on Weibo that they reported to authorities about certain back door elements that are easily accessible to switch to overseas services. Was taken down right after. So let's see what happens."

You'd expect that this would be a huge inconvenience for Chinese players, however, as noted in the replies to the Tweet, most Chinese gamers on PlayStation buy their games from the Hong Kong store and/or import physical copies.
