I'm Chinese player and your worries are so redundant, first of all China is not what this article and what you say it is.why do you think goverment need to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to hire an assassin to kill you...It’s funny.And itch is not a Chinese site, so any information you post has nothing to do with the Chinese government.
I have heard accounts of religion (especially Christianity and Islam) getting persecuted there pretty often.
Some of them even said that Christian media (such as Bibles and literature) are confiscated / gone out of circulation.
I am worried if they are gonna target mass media like video games and / or TV series featuring such religious themes or not.
