So they're surely just randomly banning those words from videogames

    Idk man. People typically use it to be racist against Chinese folk. It's not crazy that video game moderation teams would ban a common insult against a race of players.

    I also don't know anything, but it sounds like none of us do and we are just speculating

    No, it started as an adorable meme on Chinese forums:

    It then became a racist trope on Western forums.

    The title of president is ceremonial, so term limits on it are hardly consequential. The real top position since 1982 has been the General Secretary of the CPC, which is a renewable five year term that has never had term limits. Xi is still very popular with people in China, so it’s no surprise that he won a third term in 2022. Jiang Zemin also won three terms, so there’s nothing unusual about it.

    And why wouldn’t Xi be popular?

    Where you got “fascist” and “dictator” from was a lifetime of Western anti-communist propaganda.

    Is there a source for this claim? Or just something you've noticed?
