This shit is relentless with every new multiplayer game release. Westerners always want specifically the Chinese to be region locked, nobody else, just them.
They see a name with Chinese characters and start frothing at the mouth about it 
EDIT: Ah yes here's another new one https://www.reddit.com/r/thefinals/comments/18emyxe/region_block_for_russians_and_chinese_please/
And a big one a month ago, in this they claim 99% of all cheats are China and the vast majority of all people ever banned in games are always Chinese https://www.reddit.com/r/thefinals/comments/17ikpcw/region_lock_china_do_not_make_the_same_mistake/
Another today lol https://www.reddit.com/r/thefinals/comments/18eeo9r/so_genuine_question_why_wasnt_china_region_locked/
Totally not racism though:
I could make the lag argument, there’s a lot of evidence that the combination of distance and all kinds of packet inspecting network hardware would make Chinese players harder to deal with…
opens big book of racism instead
was basically going to post the same thing. makes sense to want to play people that are in the same region as you for competitive games. doesn't make sense to get racist AF
