I like to hear what people are thinking even if I don't agree with them.

It'll just drive you nuts and place unnecessary burden into your psyche that'll have a negative effect on your overall sanity. It's akin to trying to understand why are hardcore racist, just mother f..ng racist.

That's why I say sometimes the only way you can communicate with someone is to speak in their own language. Someone in here posted a tweet with a video of a Hong Konger screaming spitting venom at a British woman in Great Britain for something he misinterpreted. In fact he didn't know what she was saying and he looked like a fool because all he saw was she was saying something bad about Great Britain. If Chinese want to make that mistake like what he did, then you're going to look like a fool just like how he made himself one.
I hear you.
A perspective that's often missed by many ignorant westerners and non-westerners alike.
They just don't consider Chinese to be real
I'm waiting for a Chinese team to come and dominate the tactical shooter genre just like how they did for RTS and MOBA.
Chan is a romanisation/transliteration of Chinese surnames in their regional dialects.
陳 is Chan for the Cantonese
曾 is also Chan for the Hokkien
A better example of how the same Chinese Surname 黃 is transliterated differently is
黃 is Wong for the Cantonese
黃 is Ng for the the Hokkien/Teochew
Now imagine you telling Lee Kuan Yew or his son Lee Hsien Loong that they too are using Chinese-American surnames.
fwiw, A lot of younger generation Chinese in Singapore have switched from using their dialect transliterated surnames into Pinyin for official registries that are recorded in "English". So quite often, there's a bit of mental adjustment required to understand that the son-Chen is the progeny of father-Chan. (cue debate on the death of dialects/culture)
Please don't tell us Chinese Diaspora we are using Chinese-American surname.
We carried our surnames with us when we migrated - we simply had to romanise it so them Laowais can address us.
I think Chinese gamers put up with too much junk p2w mechanics within tactical shooters, look at the unreasonable longevity of games like crossfire where people can just buy better guns with real money that can't be obtained otherwise. Those kind cash for guns mechanics is slowly phasing out in western games, since gun/character skins via lootboxes make the same amount of money.

I don't play shooters or "deep" RPGs like Black Myth Wukong so I can't support these guys with my money. But I can support them with free mentions.
I play casual games and used to play scifi RTS like Starcraft and Sins of a Solar Empire (the sequel to which is out, finally!).
Had great hopes for Deep Dark Forest （深暗森林）but it seems to be cancelled =/
