And the Chinese government by extension

what was their one good choice?

fortnite?

Tencent revenue is the highest ever

I think China's influence will grow until the west starts to band together and then it'll crash and burn

Why would the West band together against it?

Europe certainly won't stand with America against it

Lmao

why stand against it when they provide so much moneyz

Hear hear

There good decision was buying successful western companies to get past their own incompetent Chinese game designers and to get out of the impoverished third world Chinese market

also: why are our names pink <:peperage:588019564575457311>

That's the companies decision but eventually the governments will swing hard against it

Shit staff @lucasrope

Governments in Europe are pro-China @Dubdogelmo

Even with all this "human rights" violation shit coming out

nah there is definitely an undercurrent of worry

who else is gonna make my overly cheap fashionable clothing? <:pot_of_kek:544849795433496586>

It'll flare up sooner or later

From wh? Europe is literally using Chinese 5G networking

I guess there are plenty of other asian countries willing to take up sweatshop work

We're using Chinese built networking in our 5G networks

I thought we said no to that

No sir

ffs Boris

You mean May

Though, she limited it

I heard it was under review

'backbone' will be covered by British manufacturers

Typical job strategy right there

Nope, we're starting to use it right now @Dubdogelmo

BT are starting to use Huwai stuff in their green cabs for one

IIRC it's so far along

it would already take 5 years to undo it

bah so long as we dont run all our defence shit on it

That's all on seperate networks

don't five eyes nations that are against it see it as a security threat though?

and they're partnered with the uk intelligence wise

But China's influence is only so long as they can tell us cheap shit and so long as we have naval dominance they can't do much

Five eyes was created for intel sharing

And so they can spy on eachother because legally they cannot spy on their own citizens
