@UX1∴73C thank you

Chongqing Press, a publisher of Cixin Liu, is based in China. Therefore, it supports the Chinese Communist Party by proxy; every company within China, including private, is affected by the party-building (dangjian) policy. Western companies that do business with/in China are affected by said policy as well, but to a lesser extent in terms of how much revenue is sent back to China — notwithstanding the Chinese government ensuring the product has no differing content/messages that dissent from the party's values.

This would include criticism of Xi Jinping, calling Taiwan an independent country, or any opposition to Communism and all the atrocities it has led to in the History of China and the world.

I know that this is not gaming related, but is Cixin Liu (the author of the three body problem) supporting the cummunist party?

Looks like we may have to prepare an (ironically) deep purging of our game libraries should the Ubisoft rumours be true.

@UX1∴73C Chinese localisation doesn't indicate investment or ownership. There are plenty of localisers that localise to Chinese that aren't based in China.

Is there a single game with Chinese localization that can safely be bought without directly or indirectly supporting China? At this point, anything with Chinese characters is a landmine and anything with Japanese characters might be as well.
