For more Chinese permanent decals, I’d like to suggest this 5-coloured star , that served as the insignia of the Manchukuo Imperial Army of the Japanese puppet state Manchukuo, which was founded after the IJA occupied Manchuria in 1932.

It was inspired from the Beiyang Army Star, which was created in 1895 after the Qing Empire lost the 1st Sino-Japanese War serving as a modernized Western-inspired Chinese Army. They played a huge role in the fall of the Qing Empire in 1911 and were the direct cause of the Warlord Period (1916-1928), which saw China fragmented in many provinces controlled each by a warlord, who’s either a Beiyang general or a bandit.

The difference between these 2 were the meanings behind each colour, which represented an ethnicity & the arranging of the colour Yellow & Red.

Manchukuo Imperial Army Star

The meaning behind the colours of the Manchukuo stars were:
Yellow - Manchu
Black - Koreans
Red - Japanese
Blue - Han Chinese
White - Mongols

not to be confused with the Beiyang Army Star:

while the Beiyang star held these meanings for each colours:
Yellow - Manchu
Red - Han Chinese
White - Hui ( Chinese Muslims)
Black - Tibetans
Blue - Mongols

Yes please!

I am absolutely against this, for whatever reason. The Western world does not allow the appearance of Nazi symbols, so why allow the appearance of Japanese militarist symbols in China? Do you think the emblem of the puppet state ruled under Nazi Germany should be added?

No matter how historical symbols are altered, it is always wrong. I dislike fictional symbols. Even if they once caused people pain, they are still part of history. Why deliberately hide them? Doesn’t that show a disregard for that history? It’s like how certain “N”-starting symbols in War Thunder are replaced with the Modern Army insignias from Metal Slug.

Still wondering when Japan will get The Kwangtung and Manchukuo Army’s.

Is it now or has it ever been illegal in the PRC or ROC?

Can you define what it is you think a “political flag” is?

Because every national flag is, by definition, a “political flag” in the common English meaning - they all represent a political state.

Their messages got deleted. It doesn’t matter anymore.

Depends on how you define “illegal.” In the PRC, while the law does not prohibit the public display of the Rising Sun Flag or other similar symbols, there are more than one recorded case of detention for affixing a Rising Sun Flag to a private car, displaying a Rising Sun Flag in public, or wearing WWII Japanese military uniforms.
As for the symbol of Manchukuo, I only found one record, and it did not include the follow-up processing after the alarm.

You’re only gonna find one record cause things over there don’t exist. If I could clarify. I really would but knowing Gaijin Mods they would delete the response. So I’m not gonna bother.

To keep it sorted. Things fall into a warp tunnel to another dimension is your riddle.

Quite clever, when i want to DM you at least 5 reports on this incident and ask for your clarify i found your profile is hidden. If you really dare to do why you don’t show your profile, or maybe this is not your main account?

Because all my replies got hidden, then I’ll be simple:
No.
Slovakia and Croatia does not justify Manchuria in any sensible way.

The answer of the vast majority of Chinese players: No.
If you want to add it, you have to include all the controversial symbols.
Chinese players will always be watching this matter.

Cool and you’re not the majority. Remember life doesn’t revolve around you.

If more people are voting yes which there is. Then your opinions don’t matter. Majority Stakes takes all and currently about 56% have voted yes while 42 voted no. So that is around a 16% difference.

However, there’s one thing you need to pay attention to: in other posts, the agreement rate is usually very high, generally exceeding 90%. However, judging from the current situation of this vote, it’s clear that there is some controversy. As long as the developer has any sense, they will consider the potential issues that might cause disputes.

The solution is still simple->Each language is a server-client. Gaijin is just going to disable it by default on Chinese servers. If Koreans start getting annoyed then->also disable ot. Issue is you have Certain people having a hissy fit who refuse to comprehend this.

That is one possible solution. So, let’s wait and see what Gaijin decides to do next. This is a choice Gaijin needs to make, not the players. Of course, players can respond based on the outcome, as long as Gaijin evaluates the impact and finds it acceptable.

It’s likely what they’re gonna do since there is still a majority number of yes than no.
