No, "We" were not. Read the original message. Nothing to do with "enjoy some Chinese games". "We" were trying to prove China's soft power with the example of some Chinese games making a lot of money.

Why change attitude?

Read the room, and improve your attitude please.
"You" might not be a Chinese games enjoyer, "We" are

Personally, I will never play a gacha game. However, I wholly support miHoYo taking westerners' money.

Speaking about entertainment. The Good Vibes music festival in Malaysia 2 days ago was cancelled mid-event. Thanks to the foul-mouthed LGBTQ rant from Matt Healy, the vocalist from The 1975 band (UK). He was cussing at the Malaysian government for its "anti-LGBTQ policies", and then French-kissing his male bandmate as a big "F-U" to the Malaysian government.

In case you are wondering what caused the Malaysian government to cut a 2-day long international music festival short:

Whatever your views about the LGBTQ, one should always respect the law of the land. Unless if you're a British rockstar who is drunk, and probably high on something.

He should have been treated like a normal person and arrested for breaking local laws. Single handedly screwed thousands of concert goers and the malaysian lgbt community.

Enough of this get out of jail free white privilege crap

this is good for India. It will reduce India's malnutrition rates. It will not be good for the regime, which uses foreign exchange to buy weapons.

India has always been a grain basket of the world, it has only had starvation since the British Raj, because their economic system incentivizes taking grain away from the citizens to get forex to buy weapons to force citizens to hand over their grain...

Indian rice is trash compared to Chinese north-eastern rice, or Japanese sushi rice. High quality rice costs more, so this will mostly affect Thailand, who also specialises in basmati rice. Which is bland but expands a lot more when cooked.

Well lucky for us we didn't import any, most of our rice import came from Vietnam and China.

Off topic - based on the comments, for those concerned about soft power, it seems the best way to increase China's soft Power in the US is to keep kicking the US in the balls

It always is. Humans are a bit like chimps when it comes to power struggles. Displays of power are regarded as "based". Think of all the gigachad memes.
