    So they’re surely just randomly banning those words from videogames

      Is there a source for this claim? Or just something you’ve noticed?

          I feel like people already forgot about the hearthstone hongkong debacle, when Blizzard Activision bent their asses for tencent and banned him

      Idk man. People typically use it to be racist against Chinese folk. It’s not crazy that video game moderation teams would ban a common insult against a race of players.

      I also don’t know anything, but it sounds like none of us do and we are just speculating

          No, it started as an adorable meme on Chinese forums:

          It then became a racist trope on Western forums.

          The title of president is ceremonial, so term limits on it are hardly consequential. The real top position since 1982 has been the General Secretary of the CPC, which is a renewable five year term that has never had term limits. Xi is still very popular with people in China, so it’s no surprise that he won a third term in 2022. Jiang Zemin also won three terms, so there’s nothing unusual about it.

          And why wouldn’t Xi be popular?

          • Most in China Call Their Nation A Democracy, Most in U.S. Say America Isn’t
          • Long-term survey reveals Chinese government satisfaction
          • Helping 800 Million People Escape Poverty Was Greatest Such Effort in History, Says [UN] Secretary-General, on Seventieth Anniversary of China’s Founding
          • China’s Energy Use Per Person Surpasses Europe’s for First Time
          • At 54, China’s average retirement age is too low
          • China overtakes U.S. for healthy lifespan: WHO data

          Where you got “fascist” and “dictator” from was a lifetime of Western anti-communist propaganda.
