For some reason, gaijin did not see fit to include taiwan’s actual flag in live server when china arrived as a nation so as a sort of compromise, the flag of the ROC army was used in order to represent taiwan.
When you hovered over the flag of the ROC, it would say “Republic China”.
However, since the most recent update where you can change the flag of a tech tree to match those of other vehicles in that tech tree, the possibility of someone using the flag of the ROC army for PRC vehicles was apparently completely unacceptable, even though it was entirely client side. So somebody makes a post about it in the chinese forums, whining about how gaijin has Hurt the feeling of the Chinese people and is in contravention of the “one china policy” (a policy that, might I add, gaijin is not party to since they do not have servers or offices in the PRC). Because of this pathetic whining, gaijin immediately (it didn’t even take 24 hours) removed the ability to select the ROC army flag from the game (this was deliberate), replaced the text when hovering over the ROC army flag from “Republic China” to simply “China” (this may be a bug, I’ve yet to get clarification from the forum mods if it is or not), and has been very busy doing their utmost to ignore the situation.
This could’ve been avoided had the flag of the ROC been used instead of the ROC army flag from the beginning but alas. Again, I intend to make a suggestion rectifying this sometime around the first update of the new year if it isn’t fixed by then.
EDIT: Also, whoever mass flagged my original post that these two were responding to, go suck an egg.
Gaijin doind too much for China: Not adding VT-4 to Thailand because Chinese players crying about it, adding fake Oplot (model in game are copy of Thai Oplot-T but name of basic Ukrainian Oplot-M, and they not the same model), after everyone said that it was not Oplot-P
Gaijin likes to say they are not biased towards the mainland chinese playerbase but this seems hard to accept when CERTAIN MAINLAND INDIVIDUALS CAN THREATEN TO SUE GAIJIN (if you remember that thread) and get exactly what they wanted within 48 hours.
