    Chinese companies would never do that because

    1. they want money and mayos won't play a Chinese thing
    2. CCP basically doesn't even attempt soft power and propaganda

    The most I could see them doing is shadowbanning/censoring players who say stuff about hong kong/taiwan. I'd hardly consider that propaganda though.

        I think it just reads as Japanese (anime) to most people. I had no idea it was chinese.

      Uh... what? No.

      There is plenty of CCP soft-power propaganda circulating. It's just delivered to Mandarin speaking audiences. Americans aren't their primary focus. We're a quarter their population and on the opposite side of a very large ocean. They are far more invested in cultivating public loyalty and trust among their own residents than "winning hearts and minds" in the states.

      If you want to see Chinese soft power, witness the transformation of Hong Kong from a loyalist UK redoubt to a staunchly pro-Beijing port city. Or check out what's happening in Vietnam and Malaysia and Korea and even Japan. Check out the burgeoning friendship between Russia and China. Or Iran and China. Or Mongolia and China. Or Madagascar and Mozambique and China. This shit exists. It just isn't for you.

        That last part is just The Simpson's Willy talking about Scottish people, or at least that's how it was replayed in my brain. Though, it started with "China and other China" instead of ending with it.
