Blizzard Suspends Professional Hearthstone Player for Hong Kong Comments

Can we please start a cultural movement that forces large corporations to choose between appeasing Chinese censors and looking like fools to the rest of the west or getting banned in China.

Really seems like a win win scenario.

How about Chinese owners?

Chinese Tencent owns 5 percent of Blizzard, if full owner of Riot Games, 48% of Epic Games, 11.5% of Bluehole (Fortnite and PUBG), 5% of Ubisoft. They are also investor in Discord. https://www.pcgamer.com/every-game-company-that-tencent-has-...

AMC is fully owned by Chinese. The largest movie theater chain in the United States is fully owned by Chinese.

Legendary Entertainment Group is owned by Chinese.

Forbes Media sold majority stake to Chinese company.

Matt Stoller has been doing some coverage on just how much control China has built in Western economies. Quite scary.

It's called trade. US americans send $ to China for cheap goods and manufacturing, Now, Chinese have $ to spend in the US.

Not really scary. It's better for superpowers to have intertwined economies, rather than be isolated. Less incentives for conquest and war.

This is conquest. The chinese are gradually accumulating wealth and control in our country. Their laws prohibit foreigners from doing the same in their country.

I can have a chinese landlord gouging me for west coast rent but can never be a landlord in china.

I find it suspicious that silent conquest of this kind is not spoken about more in politics. It's a very real threat to US sovereignty, especially with superpowers like China and Israel.
