Terrorists causing shit to Chinese interests.

China wants to grow larger? This will be what they get.
Chloe Zhao, a Chinese-born Director who swept the 95th Academy Awards with her movie Nomadland winning Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actress (for Frances McDormand), as well as nominations for Best Adapted Screenplay, Cinematography and Film Editing, had her Oscar victories (much like her movies) censored in her homeland of China, allegedly over the one or two statements she's made that were critical of her homelands government.
Controversy arose from a 2013 interview where Chloe Zhao apparently stated in a magazine: “I get asked a lot, ‘Why are you doing this? It goes back to when I was a teenager in China, being in a place where there are lies everywhere. You felt like you were never going to be able to get out. A lot of info I received when I was younger was not true, and I became very rebellious toward my family and my background. I went to England suddenly and relearned my history. Studying political science in a liberal arts college was a way for me to figure out what is real. Arm yourself with information, and then challenge that too.”
In this interview with Filmmaker magazine, the Director stated that she felt personal resonance with her story and that of Lakota people growing up in an impoverished reservation in the United States, which was what her first critically acclaimed film Songs My Brother Taught Me, was about.
Largely in response to this comment, posts praising her achievements on the Chinese Social Media platform Weibo were censored and removed, including on accounts with millions of followers. Articles about her were also removed from WeChat, and even Livestreams of the Oscars were banned in China as well as Hong Kong. State Media outlets such as Xinhua also reportedly neglected to cover the story. And despite a planned April 23rd release in China, the movie did not open in China as of yet.

I had a feeling this was Pine Ridge even before I looked it up.
Chinese Overwatch players threaten to boycott games and events of which certain Korean Overwatch players may take part in over hurtful comments a Korean Overwatch player, Jong-ryeol “Saebyeolbe” Park of the Seoul Dynasty, said in a stream regarding Chinese sovereignty over Hong Kong and Taiwan. The player in question has already apologized but the Chinese demand more kowtowing before they will be satiated.
The comments in question:
“I can’t say Taiwan and [Hong Kong]. At all. They [China] don’t recognise them as countries. I got into so much trouble for saying their names. Make it make sense. What are you talking about, ‘One China?’ So I objected to that and all the managers said, ‘If you want to earn Chinese money, you have to become a Chinese dog. So that’s what I’m doing right now. I can even say, ‘Thanks for subscribing’ in Chinese. Aren’t I good at Chinese?”

Not surprising considering the fact that Mao's China back NK during the Korean War and China remains NK's biggest backer.
Eh
Yes and no.

Yeah, there is a plethora of present day dickhead moves by China that are souring even young Koreans on the big assholes from further north.

Skynews loves to talk about how Taiwan's about to be invaded and fucked by the PLA.

Oh heavens, anything but that!
Of course, Blizzard won't do that and instead look to do whatever they can to not lose out on any of that hot, sexy, Chinese moolah.
I would condemn them more harshly, but since it's a pattern that many countries also follow and encourage, it becomes slightly less their sole responsibility.
Since 2015 China has apparently been building up infrastructure, including roads, military outposts, buildings and even villages in what is Bhutanese territory.
China has built two villages with a third under construction connected by over sixty miles of roads and populated with imported Tibetans, into a valley considered sacred to the Bhutanese people. Other buildings include a small hydroelectric plant, a satellite station and over a half dozen military and security outposts. This is all being done in an effort to get the tiny country of Bhutan to cede the territory so that China will gain a minor strategic advantage over India in their ongoing border disputes.
This land claim alone constitutes about 1% of Bhutans entire territory (the equivalent of the US say losing Maine apparently) and is a recent claim on Bhutanese territory made by the Chinese Communists, dating only back to 1980's.
It's a long article but well worth reading on the duplicity and arrogance of the Chinese foreign policy.

China Is Building Entire Villages in Another Country’s Territory
Since 2015, a previously unnoticed network of roads, buildings, and military outposts has been constructed deep in a sacred valley in Bhutan.

I mean, what can Bhutan do about it?
My guess is that the elites controlling Bhutan probably have some sort of secret understanding with the ChiComs about what they're doing.
hence their silence.
Bhutan is actually a military ally of India and the last time this happened there was a 73 day long military standoff between the Indian and Chinese forces before the Chinese abandoned the area. As stated in the article, large amounts of this construction was done surreptitiously since the valley was basically uninhabited.
They're taking advantage of India's Corona situation.
That and people honestly deeply underestimate the indian people.
India is a nation of what over a billion people many of them well educated, its young youthful in an aging world and can more or less cut east asia off from middle eastern oil at will. India is a great power and you forget that at your peril.
Oh boy! Sounds like someone needs a village bombed. If India went ahead, they'd be in the right as they are dealing with an invasion.
