Basically stealing the plot of the first Modern Warfare game.
But honestly what else could we expect, its a western game and the western market is seen as their primary market, same thing happened with Company of Heroes 2 basically ripping off Enemies of the Gate and not caring that it royally pisses on Russian history and angers the Russian gaming community.

True enough but if they went and tried to avoid offering some one then the games Loose there drama as it all becomes battles in fake countries on fake worlds. As is they pretty much watered it down but it was a given the game was going to get pulled the second the baddies showed up with PLA insignia. Of course you know this ban is going to sell a few thousand more units once released. Controversy is publicly and their is no such thing as bad publicity.

I don't know, there are quite a few possible scenarios:
- Counter-piracy operations off the coast of Somalia
- Hunting down ruthless African warlords like Joseph Kony
- Rescuing hostages from FARC rebels
- Fighting Islamic Courts in Somalia, or AQIM in Mali
- Hunting down drug lords in South America or Southeast Asia

a few years back the Tom Clancy Title Ghost Recon: Advanced War fighter used the drug and economic conditions in mexico as the back story for a conflict that included a military coup. Mexican politicians had kittens, They were pissed!
When the movie District 9 was released, Nigerians became enraged because of the depiction of Nigerian gangs as criminals cannibals and particularly the fact that the head of the gang bore the same surname as a former president.
Lesson Just because it does not offend you does not mean someone is not going to start a big deal elsewhere.
When it comes to Chinese plot lines there are it seems to me two schools of though go for it or 12 foot pole.
You either make a game that risks it all and pushes the stakes to the same kind of conflicts some of us obsess over, or avoided it at all cost by either ignoring all together (Tom Clancys End war for example does not mention the Chinese at all.) or make covering it over with lipstick and painting it all away.
