There is no question over the last 10 years the quality and production level of Chinese developed games has seem to sky rocket. Many of these games even being free to play. But honestly I haven’t played a single one. For the same reasons I refused to download TikTok.

China is a well known surveillance state. I worry downloading and playing these games especially on a PC or mobile phone would just be a huge privacy risk.

Am I being to paranoid ? Are there some regulations I’m not aware of that might protect me anyway ?

I feel like I’m missing out on some really high quality visually striking games because of it

    There is no precedent of China meddling on someone elses business, let alone a random civilian, so not only it is crazy to assume so it’s also inherently racist. The US does have precedent of it for what it’s worth yet you’re not distrustful of them. You’re a victim of state sponsored propaganda.

      Yeah what the hell are they gonna do with the data, realize Americans are inconsolably insane? I hope so!

      The idea of misconduct in Chinese companies being worse than the USA is nakedly insane, they haven’t had a breast milk theft incident AFAIK. Looking forward to the same idiotic assumptions about Vietnam’s games. Shit is booming, give it a decade tho. Actually all the apps here are domestic now it rules. Vietnam & China’s biggest privacy failings show themselves when I browse electronics for an HDMI adapter and it only works for Windows, or the aforementioned apps use Google Play services. That is getting better though! Google is on thin ice this whole region, & Windows on its way out in China
