    “Chinese-backed” is weird phrasing. It’s like saying Ubisoft is US government backed because they have a business license and pay taxes.

          Are you actually stupid or are you a troll? Tencent is a Chinese company based on the fact it’s based in China and works with the Chinese government. Ubisoft is a Fench company because it is based in France, not China.

              And the Chinese government is a direct shareholder in Tencent, and they have a government official on Tencent’s board of directors.

              Reality isn’t as puppy dogs and rainbows as you seem to think it is.

                No, some members of the board are party members, and there’s more than 300 millions party members.

                Reality is the NSA and CIA don’t have your interests at heart, maybe don’t blindly repeat their propaganda without even attempting to learn how things actually work.

              Tencent isn’t the owner, or even largest shareholder of Ubisoft.

              You know there’s an easier example company you could be using, right? An American company, worth and makes billions, has a ton of players and has had for a long time, and is entirely owned by Tencent?

              Using Ubisoft as your example is why I think you’re trolling, because Riot is sitting right there.
