Chinese are weird?

Nah, he just got his info messed up. A gamer in a competition got his qualifications revolked because he started talking about Hong Kong in the middle of a match. This led to a lot of people claiming Blizzard is sucking up to China because of the money. Frankly, I'm more on Blizzard's side, they were sponsoring a gaming event and someone turned it political into a cause I'm not sure they even support. In short, someone did it without thinking that he was also dragging Blizzard's name into a political fight they did not want to be in.

If they didn't do that, then where would it stop? Free Scotland? MAGA? Free Syria? ISIS? Politics in games is like potato chips, once you start, you can't stop. Unless the chips taste really bad.
