It is certainly not a slight novelty of censorship, true or alleged, adopted by Chinese developers towards myriads of words belonging to arguments not compliant with local laws.
And today's observation is that, yes, too mega-success Genshin Impact, curated by the talented MiHoYo team, subject the game chat to stringent checks to avoid any problems with the stringent jurisdiction of Beijing.
Terms that, when compared to China, refer to important political issues - and reference is made to "Hong Kong" e "Taiwan" - they come censored and asterisked like references to historical figures such as "Hitler", "Putin", "Stalin" or to apparently harmless lexemes of the type "Enemies" e "Words".
Some users have already started their very personal protest against the splendid action RPG, as you can read in the following tweet:
Here is a clip I just recorded. Just in case if this changes for whatever reason here is recorded proof. The entire word "Kong" has been censored in Genshin Impact. pic.twitter.com/JCWjOEUBaf
