I highly doubt that those who are a “local” distributor are allowed to do such without contacting the heads. I mean, Gaijin clearly sets boundaries on what can and cant be done - and the fact that they are ALLOWED to use such a drastic price drops is STILL points out that chinese community is somehow getting more benefits than any other.
I agree with him with respect to the creation of a seperate tech tree for Indian and ASEAN vehicles , Iconic Indian vehicles like Arjun and Tejas are missing , I would also be comfortable with an Indian Subtree in the British tech tree temporarily.

First, I need to clarify one thing: the significant discounts you mentioned are not a common occurrence… It’s more like a lottery. In my squadron( join the Rhine Lab plz :) ) of over 100 players, no one has drawn such a discount of 0.something % . Most discounts are around 50%.
As for your question about whether “dealers are allowed to do this without contacting the responsible party,” the term “dealer” might not be entirely accurate when describing Xiaoheihe. The relationship between the two parties is more like a partnership (somewhat similar to DMM, but not a complete monopoly like the Japanese server). It’s possible that Xiaobeihe purchases CDKeys from Gaijin at a certain wholesale price for a period of time and sells them independently (or just say, assumes profit and loss on its own?). Whether discounts are offered has little to do with Gaijin; it’s merely a decision made by the partner itself. perhaps you can check some details on the official website? I remember they had previously issued a cooperation statement? there are also some decals and decorations related to the xiaoheihe in the game

I wouldn’t have much objection if he enters the United States, Germany, Russia, etc., but he wants to give Japan VT4

Where is my answer about Royal Thai Army VT-4?
whats the point of adding Thai subtree when it can’t even use the tank that we use???
China don’t operate these VT-4s they just produced it
maybe change the [ Operator Country : China ] to [ Operator Country : Export Customer Nation ] or something
the normal version of VT-4 that sitting in Chinese Tech-tree turn out it’s for thai subtree isn’t?

Gaijin want to give thailand the VT-4, it’s completely optional to research the Thai subtree, and beyond residing in the same tech tree, the Thai tanks have no relation to their japanese counterparts.
Gaijin is not slapping a japanese flag on these tanks, simply allocating them into a logical base for people to play and enjoy them
Then maybe you should try get those Thai’s VT-4 back to China…and we will think about not adding them with other thai vehicle

This is a video game, gaijin are not parading around the fact that japan committed war crimes during ww2, they simply want to have Thai vehicles in a sensible place, being japan at the moment.
When you confuse irl history and politics with the implementation of vehicles in a videogame, then you have crossed a clear line, one of utter nonsense
Gaijin just tried to extinguish a fire with a jerry can full of gas?

Yeah this was a hideous press release from gaijin, one of the worst responses in years
Its possible, as much as that the sales are curated by the Gaijin staff anyway. I can agree that by the most lart Gaijin just leaves the things as it is under the distributor, but those things like decals, titles, or sales are directly connected to official Gaijin by definition - THEY are the ones who will add the decsls to game data, they are the ones who collect profits. Tho knowing some kitchen of those, i can agree that the chinese distributor could do that sale events entirely on their own, but i doubt it because of the timing.
Its not like they want to give it to japan - they want to give it to Thai.
Thy i can agree that it can be somewhat stressful for the chinese people, but as a russian i can assure you that we dont really see the trophies or land-lease/sold techs of ussr in other countries as bad thing (except if they are just clones, thats the only reason we can hate them), and neither should chinese players point out that “it shouldnt be in X tree because politics”.
Imagine in perfect world they just say about fixing Chinese vehicles to make Chinese happy, then add VT-4 to Japan, and add standalone Asian TT with almost everything they can find fromt
his region but instead they went for Singapore in China xD

I don’t think gaijin has a vision for an ASEAN subtree, the two nations mentioned in the article (singapore and indonesia) would make up a major portion of ASEAN, especially from a content point of view, alongside the fact that Thai and Indonesian vehicles are now in Japan.
It’s highly likely that South and East asian nations are just going to end up as subtrees, India included
Such a nonsensical decision too, why china??
They have far closer ties with Israel than china militarily, and they would make a better subtree over there than china
it begins with a time matter, like others explained, doing this around the victory day and raises argument.
when topic already raised, people would go further like lighting a forest fire.
Gaijin could dealt this well but they didn’t

Sub Three caused so many problems. maybe canceling countries in the game and devide vechicles using ‘source nations’ would be better. GAIJIN can’t escape endless political problems without stopping the implicit sale of national identity.

What do you mean ‘cancelling countries in game’, if it’s what I think you mean, then that is both extremely spiteful, but also counterproductive and malicious.
I don’t beg for soviet vehicles to be nerfed just because they came and invaded us during ww2, and still keep a large region of Finnish land today,
So why do you feel that you have the right to kick and scream over a Thai MBT in the Thai Subtree, which btw could be played in a lineup with other Thai vehicles, so you don’t even have to touch japanese vehicles after getting to top tier
no no no, you misunderstood me.
I have absolutely no issues with pakistani tech being in chinese subtree; nor the WW2 equipment which china historically used; nor the F-16s or Mirages; nor possible addition of M1A2T. I was just going off by that posters logic, making it clear that his “solution” would lead to absurd decisions.
What I do have issues with is hypocrisy of what I hope is vocal minority of chinese community when it comes to THAI VT-4. Because they keep constantly arguing like it was CHINESE VT-4. Not wanting CHINESE VT-4 in Japan TT due to historical issues is perfectly reasonable; however tank in question is no longer chinese, but THAI. It should go whenever rest of the thai vehicles is. And what I hope is loud minority should not block a single tank to a subtree that operates said tank.
Also what I do have issues with is, once again, what I hope is vocal minority of chinese players, aggresively misunderstanding or perhaps even consciously dishonestly misinterprets the issue with Singaporean subtree. They seem to think that blocking VT-4 to thailand is the same as not agreeing with idea that Singapore subtree should go to China, which simply is not true and never was and is false equivalency. Blocking VT-4 to Thailand would be like blocking pakistani T-80UD to China; whereas not agreeing with idea of Singaporean subtree in China would be like not agreeing with idea of Thai subtree in Japan before it got added. These are two entirely different issues. One deals with blocking single vehicle to already existing subtree; other deals with possible subtree placement before it is added to the game.
Gaijin, to my knowledge, never backtracked from adding a subtree, so once it is in game, the thing is done. Its more likely than not staying in game whenever it was placed. As such, it should get all vehicles it operated. To deny any singular vehicles would simply be unreasonable.
