It appears that Animal Crossing: New Horizons has been disappearing from virtual shelves in China following news reports of Hong Kong protesters spreading their message through the game. Copies of the game have gone absent from online shopping sites Taobao and Pinduoduo, but so far there are still ways to get your hands on the game in the country.

In early April 2020 US Gamer reported that Hong Kong protestors adopted Animal Crossing: New Horizons as a new way to spread their message online. The "Free Hong Kong – Revolution Now" slogan started appearing in Animal Crossing screenshots on Facebook and Twitter days after the game release, with the introduction of the ACPatterns tool making it easy to add custom images to the game.

While the game has not been officially approved in China yet, Chinese gamers could obtain a copy of the game by changing their Switch eShop region or buying an imported copy from a seller in an online shop such as Taobao or Pinduoduo.

Now it appears that the Chinese authorities have come up with a response to the game's unwanted popularity, as both Taobao and Pinduoduo have pulled the Animal Crossing: New Horizons from their virtual shelves, Reuters reported.

It is not yet entirely clear whether the game being pulled is a directive from the Chinese content regulator or a precautionary measure taken by the shops. Despite the game's disappearance from Taobao and Pinduoduo, a copy can still be obtained from certain other stores or via switching the eShop region.

In February 2020, China banned the popular strategy game Plague Inc. amid the coronavirus outbreak.

Economic isolation and/or invasion of The "People's" "Republic" of China when?

Because I refuse to accept any solution short of The complete dissolution of the current system of government in mainland China and the Chinese Communist Party.

It's really the only way Orwellian bullcrap like this is going to stop if we're going to be honest with ourselves here.

God forbid the Chinese people read a dissenting opinion or counter statement. I have news for you guys China is trying to become a super power using hyper totalitarian capitalism disguised as totalitarian communism. They have already outsourced production to Africa just like we outsourced to them for the past 40 years. The CCP really believes in their methods and their governing philosophy should be horrifying to all free nations left or right wing.

Kraut and Tea is a douche for running gay ops but his China video is incredibly insightful:

Thanks. I love watching documentary like that. People should watch more things like this rather than watching buffoon dancing on tiktok.

Considering they let developing nations "borrow" trillions and then say they own them when said developing countries can't pay it back, that's kind of obvious………unless you're insanely stupid
