    Hong Kong player stripped of prize money and banned from competition for a year by Blizzard for making a pro Hong Kong statement in a post game interview. The two broadcasters were also fired. Blizzard has avoided banning known cheaters from tournaments in the past.

    Blizzard has been bending over for China for a while now. Sad, I believe Tencent (IIRC) owns a share of the company so completely predictable. I don't know if its a lot, probably not more than 10%, but still, it's something.

    This feels like Soviet Union all over again. Except with USSR it was only the Eastern block that was affected by this bullshit. China is making the whole world dance to their tune. Money is a powerful thing.

    Both do censorship but in different ways. Japan jus censors the fun zones.

    China on the other hand censors ... all of it, it's illegal and producing or selling it can get you life in prison.

    @Jontro would undoubtedly become a hardened life long prisoner if the Chinese overlords took over.

    I think most companies doing business in China already bent over to do business in China in the first place. You don't just do business in China "for free". This shouldn't be too shocking - you generally know the rules are different going in, I think.

    Exactly why unchecked globalism is as dangerous as blind ethnonationalism. In fact I would guess there is a fair bit of that going on in China too. The whole thing reminds me of the nazis with their camps. Just change out Jew for Muslim. If they are following the playbook of the totalitarian states before them, they will soon mobilize and attempt to land grab what they think are former holdings.

    Not really Debatable but entirely worthy of Discussion; should be in the D&D.

    While we waste money on a bloated unnecessary military they buy up our property, China is winning by capitalism.
