Money Cult: The Long List of Beijing's Ass Kissers

Here's a list of companies kowtowing to China’s despots
It's not just Blizzard... there is a massive list of companies bowing to Chinese money
By Anthony Garreffa

I'm sure by now you've heard about the massive issues going on in China, which have been going on for a very, very long time now - but we're at a point where it's hard to ignore, even for gamers.
Activision Blizzard is in the crosshairs of Chinese censorship, with the Overwatch, Diablo, and World of Warcraft creator bowing to Chinese pressure. Activision Blizzard recently suspended one of its pro Hearthstone players after the player support pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong.
But the list is growing, wtih Apple taking a knee to Chinese censorship and even the likes of American Airlines, Gap, Mercedes-Benz, Ray-Ban, Nike, TikTok, and many others pressured by the country and its strict stance on criticism. Mashable has compiled a big list of these companies that include (so far, as I'm sure there are more):
  1. Activision Blizzard 
  2. American Airlines 
  3. Apple 
  4. Audi 
  5. Cathay Pacific 
  6. Coach 
  7. Disney/ESPN 
  8. Delta Airlines 
  9. Gap 
  10. Marriott International 
  11. Medtronic 
  12. Mercedes-Benz 
  13. Muji 
  14. NBA 
  15. Nike 
  16. Ray-Ban 
  17. Swarovski 
  18. Tiffany & Co 
  19. Vans 
  20. Versace 
  21. Viacom/Paramount Pictures 
  22. Zara
    Boycott them all, if youcan.
