    Bold prediction: over the next 5 years we're gonna see video games, movies, and shows about "resistance fighters" fighting the CPC. Like, CIA Jim goes undercover with the Uighyurs to bomb a CPC installation or something. They'll definitely emphasize attacking the CPC specifically and not "the Chinese government" in general. Most probably won't directly say Xinjiang or the Uighyurs, but it will be pretty obvious to everyone.

          there's a popular multiplayer only version of call of duty in china i think, they may resist a little bit more. Remember though that Battlefield already did war with china like 4 times now

              battlefield 2 was the best one because it just focused on fighting and left lore to nerds and loading screens. The future one was literally about China and Russia going on a genocidal rampage because an ice age had made the east uninhabitable and they needed to steal as much land as possible before it was too late. (Coincidentally Africa just lets the Europeans recolonize the south)

                I didnt actually know that about 2142, I kinda just assumed it was presented as an amoral struggle for survival. I guess that the behind-the-scenes lore made the EU as the 'good guys'?

      I mean maybe but in doing so the game will probably either be banned in China or it wont sell very well and the publishers reputation there will be damaged, which is not something game publishers want to do in such a huge market.
