IDDQD PressTrump signs executive order targeting Tencent, owner of Riot Games, noteworthy for League of Legends
President Trump announced that in 45 days, it shall be illegal to engage in any transactions with Tencent:
Section 1. (a) The following actions shall be prohibited beginning 45 days after the date of this order, to the extent permitted under applicable law: any transaction that is related to WeChat by any person, or with respect to any property, subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, with Tencent Holdings Ltd. (a.k.a. Téngxùn Kònggǔ Yǒuxiàn Gōngsī), Shenzhen, China, or any subsidiary of that entity, as identified by the Secretary of Commerce (Secretary) under section 1(c) of this order.
It is worth noting as of 2011, Tencent purchased a controlling share of Riot Games, which is the developer of League of Legends. It is also worth noting that other news agencies are not reporting this as a ban on Tencent, but as a ban on WeChat and on TikTok. That these companies are oh so defensive of TikTok, and on WeChat, but not WeChat’s parent company Tencent, is very telling. Nothing to see here, folks.
ooh wow i don't give a fuck
>Activistion-Blizzard
I don't care
>Riot Games
I don't care
>Epic Games
I don't care
>but also means all games made in the Unreal Engine, which is a lot).
That could be a problem... But it isn't because you are wrong. Games made by unreal engine do not belong to Epic Games, just like your house does not belong to the cement manufacturer. They belong to their specific IP owners
Nothing would happen to anything other than riot.
Companies that do business in America are banned from doing business with Tencent subsidiaries, so yes, it would effectively ban Unreal Engine and the games that used it from the market not just in America but worldwide.
Based Trump crashing this industry with no survivors~~~
BASED TRUMP MAKING TENCENT INVEST IN JAPANESE GAMES INSTEAD
>but muh japs are based!!!
Still gonna roll over and accept it like the cucks they are
>BUT MUH HEART OF SAMURAI!!!!! THEY WILL REFUSE
And so China will annex them. Fuck are they gonna do? Japan isnt allowed to have a military or fight wars anymore cuz of BASED AMERICA.
>Japan isnt allowed to have a military or fight wars anymore cuz of BASED AMERICA
not true, they can change their constitution as they please now. japanese are radical pacifists and none of the people want anything to do with wars.
>made a lot of american video games illegal
then they aren't burgerclap games, are they? Volvo isn't swedish, it's chinese. same applies here.
I only play Japanese games anyway
Tencent owns Nintendo now.
Ban Nintendo then too
No? They just sell the Switch is China. It's a partnership to sell that thing over there.
and? tencent owns japanese companies such as marvelous you know
>marvelous
Here goes NMH1 port.
They own 20%
Why do you fuckwits constantly crow about how Tencent owns companies when they only own a non-controlling share?
20% is still quite hefty, anon
Name a good Marvelous game

He's banning WeChat and Tiktok, is there any actual source for him banning all transactions with Tencent or is everyone just parroting that tweet?
why is he banning tiktok? what the fuck is tictoc?
take your prune juice boomer
I did, and don't bully me. One day you will be old too.
wow
>One day you will be old too.
>implying by then I wouldn't have been summarily executed for wrongthink
>NOOOOO you don’t follow trends!!!! BOOMER
jokes aside...
does prune juice work? i remember my mom giving me that when i was like 4-6 years old
>does prune juice work?
Yes actually.
so if i start drinking prune juice regularly i can instead relieve myself daily instead of every 5-6 days... and not feel like literally shit as i have for my entire life?
it works for me yeah
Coffee too and nicotine if you don't use those either
>so if i start drinking prune juice regularly i can instead relieve myself daily instead of every 5-6 days... and not feel like literally shit as i have for my entire life?
Not guaranteed, but likely. The rest of your diet as well as the quantities/frequency can affect this. Don't just drink litres of it all willy nilly and expect it to be better, but of course if you drink too little it won't work either.
And if the rest of your diet is absolutely garbage, prune juice likely won't solve it.
But yes. Otherwise yes. Though not guaranteed.
If you want to shit yes it's great
TikTok is some zoomer social media shit where they act like annoying faggots at one another. It also happens to be a huge spying tool from China. IIRC, Japan and India have already banned it, and there might be more.
>Japan and india already banned it
Being SEAniggers really is suffering
Fuck TikTok, but it's incredibly hilarious to me that this is motivated out of spite for China right now.
Among their countless other crimes against humanity and the planet as a whole, they are committing a very real genocide as I type this. Those insects deserve way worse than what they're getting.
zoomer app
They are little tiny mints you eat
Chinese spyware in the guise of a hip video app.
Dont forget to post that on twitter and facebook too dipshit. No spying from american websites no no no, dont forget to buy something on amazon too
the difference is the information goes to china
and we are not friendly with china
Cancerous zoomer shit that rightfully should be banned.
Basically the chinese made a propaganda-spyware app that is required by law to be downloaded on the phones of all undesirable populations, so that they can track everything your phone does, every call you make, every word you say, everywhere you go, everyone with another phone who you walk near, and every byte of data that passes through your phone. Also if you do not spend enough hours a day watching their state sponsored propaganda videos your social credit score goes down and you get kicked out of your apartment.
And then it was so popular they rebranded it as tiktok for foreign markets.
>it’s ok when (((US))) companies do it, got
>Zoomer social media app
>Collects every form of information, literally malware
>App is owned by Chinese company
>Chinese government states in a law that Chinese companies NEED to give their information to them

>Feds ban their staff from downloading TikTok
>Feds are planning to ban their citizens from downloading TikTok
I won't be voting Trump after this.
Trump is a fucking monster what the fuck did Arnotts ever do to him?
pedo app.
zoomer app that spied on its users
https://twitter.com/jeremyburge/status/1275896482433040386
what app doesn't spy on their users
not many have open keyloggers brainlet.
WeChat is owned by Tencent, so the order targets Tencent since really the only thing Tencent has a huge hand in is vidya and Trump could give two shits about indirectly banning most vidya
He's not banning tencent. Read the links the anon posted ffs.
The order specifically targets Tencent and it's subsidiaries, this is specifically done so Tencent can't shuffle it around and re-organize.
>To deal with this threat, the order prohibits, beginning 45 days after the date of the order, to the extent permitted under applicable law, any transaction that is related to WeChat by any person, or with respect to any property, subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, with Tencent Holdings Ltd. (a.k.a. Téngxùn Kònggǔ Yǒuxiàn Gōngsī), Shenzhen, China, or any subsidiary of that entity
>or any subsidiary of that entity
That's between any related properties of WeChat/TikTok and related properties of Tencent, not between everything and Tencent. I've had to make this reply like 3 or 4 times now since a lot of people seem to miss that unless I'm the one misunderstanding it.
Good point. What awful wording, doesn't Trump have lawyers working in the white house?
yeah people just can't read anymore, look at the tweets from this idiots been spammed across a bunch of boards
>https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/text-letter-speaker-house-president-senate-addressing-threat-posed-wechat/
To deal with this threat, the order prohibits, beginning 45 days after the date of the order, to the extent permitted under applicable law, any transaction that is related to WeChat by any person, or with respect to any property, subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, with Tencent Holdings Ltd. (a.k.a. Téngxùn Kònggǔ Yǒuxiàn Gōngsī), Shenzhen, China, or any subsidiary of that entity, as identified by the Secretary of Commerce (Secretary) under section 1(c) of this order. The Secretary will identify the transactions subject to this prohibition 45 days after the date of the order.
Read this part
>any transaction that is related to WeChat by any person, or with respect to any property, subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, with Tencent Holdings Ltd.
", or" here is used to separate a part before it and the part after it as two different endings to some part before it, this could be either continuing after "any transaction" in which it'd be:
"any transaction that is related to WeChat by any person" and "any transaction with respect to any property"
OR continuing after "any transaction that is related to WeChat" in which case it'd be "any transaction that is related to WeChat by any person" and "any transaction that is related to WeChat with respect to any property".
It's more vague than the order should allow, but if you look at the Tiktok one from the same day, the wording of this part is different:
>any transaction by any person, or with respect to any property, subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, with ByteDance Ltd.
This is a blanket ban on transactions with ByteDance, and is how the Tencent one would be worded if the goal was to ban all transactions with them. The Tencent one is likely meant to ban all transactions with Tencent related to WeChat, not all transactions as a whole.
I hope so
Fucking great! I wasn't happy when Trump became president, but I couldn't have been more wrong. His administration has been the best in almost 3 decades. Greatest times. I am a Trump fan now

Dangerously based.
Literally the most based thing in a decade
Fuck chink companies
I don’t think this is going to matter much. Unlike TikTok and ByteDance, Epic games is only partially owned by TenCent.
He better fucking do it.
H-hey b-buddy, I n-need like t-ten cents, care to spare a l-little?

where were you when Trump defeated the chinese scourge and saved video games?
Imagine being American lol

So nothing is going to happen, like always. Gotcha.
Feels good not being American.

He does. It would have to be called by the acronym, which he doesn't own
Finally less crap games around.
Does this mean EGS is also fucked?
epic is owned something like 40% by tencent which puts them in difficult situation i guess
Gppd
Fuck tim sweeney and their shitty practices
Yes, they are 100% screwed now, Tencent only invested because Epic told them they could replace Steam.
About time someone did something about China.
god I wish. imagine tiktok and fortnite getting btfo'd for good simultaneously
based i wish he would make it illegal to give money to all AAA trash publishers too
>Actishit-Blizzard
Won't affect them much, right? China only has a tiny stake in them.
>China only has a tiny stake in them.
Doesn't matter. There's no "It's okay if it's only a LITTLE money" clause.
In fact, Tencent has 44 days to buy stock in basically whatever and render anything it wants illegal under the EO (which is part of why the EO is likely to die in court). China just has to buy one share of stock in every toilet paper company and we'll be wiping our asses with leaves.
Yep, he clearly didn't do his research and see how big Tencent is. This strategy would work for TikTok much like it worked for Grindr but Tencent is too big for it.
Maybe people should be concerned about entities like Tencent instead of allowing them to have this much influence. What Trump did was good, on accident.
That won't happen because companies can't just be bought out. They need the company to consent to being bought out. And it won't be considered profitable at all to be bought out if it means losing the US market.
nothing of value was lost
It's actually pretty unlikely it'll hold up in court.
yeah I don't think it will last long, the 45 days period will be enough for Tencent to start sending some bribes and kill it before it passes
I'll be surprised if it makes it through the weekend given that about 20 massive corporations are all flipping out that it applies to them and they have a pretty solid legal case that Trump doesn't have the power to do this.
Grinding Gear Games is based in new zealand, who gives a flying fuck

Due to severe toxic thievery behavior and repeated violations of the First Amendment, your worthless shithole corporation has been banned from making lootbox simulators in the West. Gamergate owns your ass, bitch.
GGEZ go next
Trump banned lol, tiktok and fortnite. He's got my vote for sure. Fuck tim fuck epic and fuck chinks too.
Ok, as a fucking fresh last school graduate, I read this and it's fucking impossible to let the world continue to work.
Now, how this comes to pass? Did these people even read?
This is for sure just to stir some controversy, because it is IMPOSSIBLE, I repeat, IMPOSSIBLE, to work, at least in the form it is written.
how fucking dumb and underage do you have to be to think this will have a tangible effect on vidya? This does not affect the thousands of companies that they have invested in but do not have a controlling stake in-
"to the extent permitted under applicable law, any transaction that is related to WeChat by any person, or with respect to any property, subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, with Tencent Holdings Ltd."
wait wtf I think trump doesn't understand how far reaching this is holy shit. This would apply to anything they ever touched or given a penny too jesus christ
The act he's citing has literally only been used for companies that are owned by terrorist organizations, Iran, or North Korea.
China is worse than all of these countries and organisations combined though.
The reason he gave a 45 day grace period is so that Microsoft can buy Tiktok for half the price they were being offered for it. The US government is strong-arming them into it, saying they'll get nothing at all if they don't sell. It's a bluff and they'll rescind the order before the 45 days are up, but it will work.
I miss when the only people who used the internet were loser nerds
Drumpf is based for once
If Trump is going to do this he should show some evidence instead of just saying "They >>May<< be spying on us....!"
If he can produce evidence then I'm 100% behind Trump doing this, though. Fuck China with a bloody rake.
Yeah he's gonna send troops to seize chink servers in China
Retard
What does banning tik tok means? I cannot make an account? Will I still be able to watch nasty random whores on the other side of the world doing dances? Which is the one thing I care for.
I'm a lib and I'm voting Biden in November, but this is pretty fucking based

You're a 14-year-old
>not going full accelerationist and seeing how quickly we can make the whole system tear itself apart
I'd rather not vote for a blue trump that was a big proponent of Reagan's tax changes and support terrible neolib economic policies. Fuck the DNC's way of continuing to exploit people while trying to placate them with a "progressive" social platform
That's why I'm calling you 14. You "burn it down for the lulz" fags are all teenagers who don't have any real life experience.
>for the lulz
I'd rather die than live in a corporate dystopia in the year of the depend adult undergarment. Do you really think we're at a point where we can democratically make any real changes? Trump's done a better job discrediting the GOP and making people get "woke" and take action than 8 years under Obama's middle of the road nothingness
Counterpoint: almost all the problems we have now won't go away if Biden became president, so the anger has no reason to go away either
very true. Biden doesn't even want to undo all of the changes Trump made. The tax code will only be slightly amended, leaving many of the cuts still in, because Biden doesn't want to do a major tax hike.
>You "burn it down for the lulz" fags are all teenagers who don't have any real life experience.
it is without fail, every single time, the anti-trumps who want to destroy your country though
anytime trump coughs there are riots and a million blog posts about how its time to rrrrrrrrise up
they're also the ones destroying statues and buildings/businesses right now
who is this asian cum-suasian?
imagine voting for the literal embodiment of the kike establishment. textbook NPC
>anon gets cucked over by the democratic party dabbing on his candidate and openly saying they will ignore your vote
>after that, he will still vote for the candidate they forced down on your throat
You have to be the biggest cuck on earth to vote Biden, specially if you were shilling for Bernie
>not voting for a senile boomer so he can nuke Yellowstone and end the planet
So why should I care about any of this if I can still see content here and there?
Most TikTok """content""" creators you're familiar with are American and they'll move to some other platform.
Sound ok, though I thought most of them were european.
Yeah, they'll just switch to Facebook's version/ripoff of Tik-Tok. Clearly, they won't spy on you or anything, right?
fucking based TRUMP IS GETTING RID OF CHINKS FROM RUINING THE GAMING INDUSTRY!
>Slasher
Yeah good source you faggot. If anyone unironically thinks this is going to impact their vidya consoomption they are utter troglodytes.
This is literally the only good thing Trump has done. Good for him.
Go on, say a tech company that you gave money directly on the last year.
Yep, banned. Simple as that.
Americans can't even read anymore, holy shit.
It won't actually effect anything, but if it did nothing of value would be lost and the world would be a better place.
Truly in the end the clock tiktok'd for thee
Please make it so I wish Trump banned Tencent along with TikTok or anything made by chinks.

Thank god for Trump
>It's likely this EO will be held up in court
No chance. The wording is super fucking ambiguous and the he's citing a national emergency that has to do with telecom equipment. If Trump was smarter or had even one legal expert in the White House he could get away with it, but alas he does not.
I'm an idiot and misinterpreted the post. I thought by "held up," he meant that the courts will allow it to continue, not "held up" as in "prevented from being enacted." I agree with you, there's no chance the courts let this pass.
you don't have to be smart in office, you just all have to be playing for the same team. it's how obama obliterated the middle east, and got a peace prize out of it. trump has no friends in government, which is why people wanted him in.
Actually it started with Bush Senior and continues to this day.
Oh my fucking CChrist, I'm OP and I'm ashamed of myself. I meant "held up" as in courts going "Hold up, that ain't right" but said the exact opposite of what I meant. Ugh.

This seems more harmful for the US than China, it's just going to accelerate their dominance because now these companies will just go all in on being china owned and tell the US to kiss their yellow tinted ass.
Unlikely for the ones that aren't majority Chinese owned and don't have majority Chinese userbases
Because Israel is a republic and not an autocracy, schizo
Not really. Despite it's population size America is still the biggest consumer market on the planet and once they go all in on being owned by China their product won't be shit anymore and they'll quickly get phased out.
You're not allowed to operate in China unless you're being managed by a chinese company, so going all in on China is basically retiring.

Ah, right.
Never thought about Unreal Engine. guess this does somewhat affect me but still not in a way I care about since the vast majority don't use it and as far as I'm concerned you should make your engine yourself on a platform by platform basis like they used to instead of lazily copy pasting from system to system.
So good riddance.

So whats the fucking point of checks and balances if Trump can just keep pushing these Executive Orders
What are you talking about? Trump's not abusing Executive Orders? That would mean he didn't learn his lesson and we all know he learned his lesson during the impeachment trial.
You go to district court for a temporary restraining order. Nothing goes into effect until the district court renders a determination. You appeal that determination to the Circuit Court and get another TRO. You appeal that determination to the Supreme Court and get another TRO. That's your check and balance. Please pay attention in class next time.
There is nothing to stop this since there's a 5/4 conservative supreme court, which will side with trump 99% of the time.
40 out of 41 of Trump's EOs got thrown out by the supreme court
It also needs to be pointed out that about 40 of those were thrown out because the trump administration failed to do the right paperwork, the man is literally his own worst enemy.
You're so fucking stupid. This country is in desperate need of fucking mandatory Civics classes taught by people who actually understand law.
Roberts is a cuck so it's more like 4/5 since someone clearly has some kind of dirt on him.
>Roberts is a cuck so it's more like 4/5 since someone clearly has some kind of dirt on him.
Ironic that you're complaining about people not knowing about Civics when you don't know why Roberts is putting on a liberal appearance.
>a liberal appearance.
lmao you think actual decisions are just an appearance, okay nigger
roberts doesn't care about anything except preserving "muh legacy" so he purposefully avoids making controversial decisions as much as possible
Still want to know if he was the John Roberts on the Epstein flight log
The fact that you think he's ruling that way on actual decisions of importance just confirms my point.
>So whats the fucking point of checks and balances if Trump can just keep pushing these Executive Orders
Trump can push these EOs all he wants, but most of them are getting struck down by the courts. Most of the really aggressive EOs require some creative interpretation of the law to work. DACA, for instance, was Obama noting Congress granted a law letting him prioritize who to deport first, and he moved Dreamers to the bottom of the list. Trump theoretically could undo this, but his legal team is really sloppy so it keeps getting held up on technicalities.
In this case, Trump is kind of just saying "I can do what I want", and is likely going to lose in court because the EO is confusing and broad, and because "It's an emergency" and "This takes place in 45 days" don't go together very well. Even right-wing judges are going to blanch at "The president can outlaw like thirty unrelated companies by association", because that's a precedent Democrats can abuse the shit out of.
So it's not gonna apply?
Who knows, nothing's a sure thing with this fucking administration. But given
A. A shitload of corporate money is behind it
B. They have a pretty good case
C. Right-wing judges likely don't want to give the president the ability to outlaw companies willy-nilly
D. This would kick the US economy in the balls when it's barely hanging on by a thread already
I would not bet against League of Legends here.
don't listen to that retard. Trump can ban any company he wants because the Executive branch has full authority on who can do business in the USA. He also has full authority over who can come into the USA, for any reason. This was just backed up by the Supreme Court. If he says some chingchang company is a national security threat, they don't get to own property or do business in the US.
And that doesn't seem at all fascist to you?
You clearly don't know what fascism is kid. There was a time in this globalist utopia when foreign governments couldn't actually buy or lease our roads or ports. You see, a country isn't a country when you can buy up anything you want with fake money you print at the chingchong palace. If you want to call THIS fascism, we need a lot more fascism.

Trump is the biggest bitch ever.
Those question marks at the end?
So when he gets called out he can claim it was simply a question, not a statement.

One of the best things about living in Europe is that most of the right-wing rhetoric you hear in America is very much against the law here. Calling Islam "uncivilised" or saying that gay marriage isn't really marriage would get you charged with inciting hatred. Suggesting that people should buy guns "for self-defence" would be considered inciting violence, which carries serious penalties as well. We're also finally starting to seriously crack down on climate change deniers and anti-vaxxers and many European countries have laws that prohibit insulting or offending people in general. Germany has a law against disparaging the memory of deceased persons, so the crude "ding dong, the witch is dead" rhetoric coming from the US when a celebrity dies would be very much illegal. Childish name-calling and lying about people is not allowed here either, as a woman in France was recently given defamation charges for commenting "she's a liar" on a YouTube video of a politician giving a speech.
Is our freedom of expression limited? Not in the least. We are guaranteed freedom of expression through European law. Rather than restricting freedom of expression, these laws simply ensure that it's used responsibly and for the purposes of good. Unlike Americans, we understand that human rights and human dignity also need to be respected. Americans stubbornly cling to their outdated interpretation of their archaic Constitution while the rest of the world forges ahead. You Americans look very uncivilised to the rest of us when you allow bigots to speak out openly. By allowing hate speech, you are sending the message to the rest of the world that your government approves of hatred and intolerance. Is that really what you want, Americans?
I assume this is copypasta, but you're still a massive faggot.

Non burger here, how relevant are executive orders in your country?
Not really relevant. You can still use a VPN if things do take into affect, but there have been very similar situations before where nothing happens.
Isn't the whole thing only specifically related to tiktok/wechat anyway? Why would it affect their holdings on game studios?

Hogg's dad is CIA, or FBI i forgot which, but either way he was a plant, he got so much screen time after he miraculously survived that shooting.
yeah, funny story that, when they first interviewed him people from his own school posted his twitter account where he was clearly NOT AT THE SCHOOL during the shooting. He skipped that day and then somehow road his bike to the school and managed to get into one of the classrooms. Idk how that happened or what part of his ever changing story was a lie but I don't trust that jew.
he got in after the shooting, every single cop stood down and didn't stop the shooter, and it was all allowed to play it out perfectly, followed up by saying guns are bad and should be banned. i wish people weren't room temperature iq by huge margins, because that's the ideal false flag op.
>made alot of American video games illegal
that doesn't even make sense, who is this fucking retard? fuck twitter. it's a bunch retarded jews acting like they know something.

>Trump bans Tencent in America
>Tencent/China just shifts focus to other markets
>like China did with all the tariffs
>the only loser are US partner companies
>just like with the tariffs
I hate this fucking retard so goddamned much and all the economically illiterate fucks who support him because fuck liberals. He fucking dropped billions of dollars of bailout money into the farm industry just so it wouldn't fail due to his insane tariffs, all so he could pretend he was doing something while China consolidated power all around Europe and Asia uninhibited.
All Trump had to do was support India, China's primary economic rival they're trying to crush, and open trade with countries China is eyeing buying out like Greece, but nooooo there's no money for investors in that, so now China owns half of Europe, all of Asia, Russia, and soon the fucking Middle East, and once they get oil the US is completely fucked. Just like he did with the fucking plague, call it fake then ban travel way too late and say he saved everyone while hundreds of thousands then get sick and die while China gets to fucking recover and start leading the glove in business again, with no consequences because if Trump actually takes a stand against them his investor buddies will get panicky and he won't have a scapegoat for his own failures to pin for his braindead followers to boogeyman anymore.
I fucking despise this mentally retarded fucker and all the dipshits who support him. The US has lost the trade war so hard it's frightening, and the fucker is even backing China in Hong Kong too because he sees big cops with guns and thinks "THEY LIKE WHAT WE GOT VERSUS ANTIFA," fuck.
I mentioned this in another thread and they responded by saying that China buys a bunch of produce from us now so it doesn't matter even though it's only because Trump rescinded all his tariffs and actually gave a more favorable deal to the Chinese than what we had before.
No shit, the tariffs were a massive failure and showed that China is privy to all the possible methods of attack we could use to gain back markets. Trump has the brain of a two year old and isn't actually president, he just does whatever his advisors say and they're all a bunch of corrupt jews. This is abysmal economic strategy and so short sighted, but /v/ loves it because they're children who are as dumb as Trump and think every single business partner with Tencent is a tranny SJW or something and want to see them all die. So they lose jobs temporarily but the gaming market as a whole becomes even more China-focused as a result since Tencent would just buy out Japan, Korea faster than they already are. /v/ seriously thinks Trump banning fucking Fortnite in the US would be a good thing and not a massive fucking disaster that would cripple the US' standing in the tech industry for years to come.
And don't even get me started on the fucking deficit. The United States is fucking dead.
>retarded American doesn't know what Asia and Europe are
Spoiler, dipshit, China and by extent Tencent dominates every market across the globe, and they will continue to do so. You can't ban them because every facet of regular people, not NEET losers on 4chan who spend all day seething about imaginary trannies, use their shit for business and leisure. This move, if upheld, will cause so much immediate damage and chaos to so many businesses, not just tranny indie devs you hate, that the already dying US economy will sink harder, and Tencent loses jack fucking shit because while little Timmy won't be buying Fortnite skins any more, they can just invest harder in Europe, Japan, Korea, Russia, etc., and nobody can stop them.
You're absolutely right. No one will say it, but you're right.
See
Holy fuck, an actual intelligent post on 4chan

Pffffhahaha you're being delusional, 99% of otakushit is made in China so say goodbye to anime industry if that happens

Japan is too lazy and greedy to actually hire and pay animators so they just outsource all their shit now. That's why 90% of seasonal anime coming out right now has a ton of QUALITY moments.

Pranksters typically hold up signs like that to take a pic then quickly fold the sign up again.
Riot would go down but realistically nothing will happen to companies in which chinks only have shares. Courts, paper fuckery, usual jew tricks, they would easily find a way to stay unharmed. Its a nothingburger.
Technically the Executive order, right now, says that the Secretary of Commerce will identify what transactions will be banned in 45 days.
So the EO doesn't actually do anything right now.
This reeks of deflection/distraction from his domestic problems. You have to be a massively gullible HAPPENINGfag to actually believe fortnite or LoL will be effected.

There aren't seriously people who think the Beirut explosion was nuclear, are there?
I though that shot was just ironic shitposting, anyone who knows anything about explosives can immediately see that it was ANFO
I wonder what chinese americans are thinking right now. I’m afraid to bring this up in conversation.
I've been laughing in their faces and dabbing on their tears. Chinese century is over before it even started lmao
Who the fuck cares. If they can't recognize people dislike their government and not their people then they're not as smart as their cheated for testing scores imply. Aren't you sick of always worrying about if everyone has their feelings hurt?

I can’t wait for the ironic shitposting when hot war breaks out with China. Gonna see shit like this from people who are ash minutes later.
You'll see my shitposting until the end of time buddy. You can take that to the bank! and cash the check! and use the check to buy beer! and drink your sorrows away! and wake up still a loser and still seeing my shitposts!
Realistically we will probably only see each other shitposting for a few more months. I feel like something huge is about to happen, even if it’s just in the US. Everyone has gone insane, after the last five months.

So you don't want capitalism or communism, what do you want?
He is a deranged nazi, like most of the other /pol/tards. Stay away of this shit hole anon.
I suspected that, I just wanted to hear him admit it with his own words, which he did in a reply to my post. Funny thing is he doesn't even understand that the Nazis were very capitalist, they literally coined the term "privatization" to describe their economic policy.
nu/pol/ has no ideology, they're white (usually not on the outside) Muslims who support complete self destruction because even though their country might lose all its power as a result of their own suicidal and inarticulate policies, a nigger might die from them and that's good enough for them.
Using the government to supercede an individual's economic rights is only okay if le based trump is using it against evil Epic games.
If it's a threat to national security and therefore an endangerment to other citizens
Supporting China is literally a threat to the US as an entity and every human on this planet
So in short you're saying that the free market has consequences and can't self-regulate all problems away by itself?
Who could have thought!
Unironically, the Americans.
Has the global economy ever been a free market economy? Tariffs have existed for hundreds of years.
>authoritarian chinese government that runs shell companies is the free market
Retard
>Supporting China is literally a threat to the US as an entity
Good, your globohomo, jew and nigger worship has gone too far.
You're still retarded to think a sovereign nation shouldn't protect itself even if you hate it.
>Activision-Blizzard
Don't care
>Riot Games
Seriously don't care
>Epic Games
hahahahahahahaha let them fucking burn
He just killed System Shock 3
Would be pozzed anyway
t. Console cuck zoomer virgin who never played System Shock
wow. wasnt expecting /v/ to be this fucking badass.
Fuck China, Fuck Chinese Censorship, and Fuck Chinese Shills. I'm not even a big Trump fan, but this is incredibly based of him.
We should be giving absolutely no quarter to China in our media until they agree to stop with censorship, control, and IP theft. AKA never.
Hopefully we follow this up with sending every fraud traitorous globohomo neoliberal to Gitmo where they belong.
Not bad, for a frogposter.
Trump just fucking redeemed himself
I thought he would just make anime real, but turns out hes saving the videogame industry too
>GGG
this is a New Zealand company so probably unaffected
>Activision is banned now
absolutely based.
rip diablo immortal
>trump royally fucks china, activision, and tons of other shit companies
>jim sterling is going to call this decision bad, defending all the corporations he's "fought" for years
can't wait.
You're a retard if you think a single thing Trump has done has hurt China. They're stronger than ever and this move is just going to make them stronger because the only people hurt will be US partners and consumers, just like the tariffs. And you're basing your approval off of an imaginary scenario of Jim fucking Sterling getting mad, even if he could be right to be so. You're such a fucking retarded child, cheering on the death of the US economy and capitalism in general all because your brain is poisoned by social media.
Yes the death of Riot will really hurt US companies
Retard
this, also fuck fortnite, shit finally dies the death it long deserved.
Nobody cares incel.
Meanwhile in reality.
>every country wants to pull manufacturing out of china after the chink flu and the way the CCP acted
>china is literally underwater
>china has taken the hardest economic hit from corona
China is in a shit position
>China has taken the hardest economic hit from corona
It's not even over yet, the US ain't exactly doing so hot right now either.
China is getting hit too right now.
Holy shit. /v/ is actually based as fuck.
SING WITH ME /v/
O SAY CAN YOU SEE

The United States is banned from most countries and is projected to have 300,000 dead from coronavirus by Christmas, and the government has convinced half of the population that getting sick with a potentially fatal and often severely crippling illness is normal. Tens of millions have lost their jobs and 40% of the population is facing eviction during a pandemic nobody but cities are managing. The economic gains of the past decade have been entirely wiped out and will take decades to rebuild as America's infrastructure is rotten and outdated. Over half of the population cannot afford basic health care the rest of the world gets for free. The military budget is so bloated and misspent that all other facets of global politics have been forgotten, leading to China now being the dominant economic power on Earth as a Communist player.
But a video game company might lose some money in the short term and fire some of its lower end employees so the CEOs can continue to rake in bucks, so the USA is actually based.
So you believe Chinese coronavirus number?
You have no idea what you are talking about. China is in a shit position. Everyone wants to pull out of china investment and the country is underwater. Plus they are still getting hit with corona they are just lying about everything because they need to keep their manufacturing going or there stack of cards is gonna collapse.
>every other country in the world is totally subservient to China and the US
>it's not their fault for being Chinese puppets when the US hits a struggle
>it's not their faults for feeding into the neo-Marxist agenda that prolonged the Corona problems in the US
>tencent
>"video game company"
why bother posting if you have no idea what you're talking about
Epic and Blizzard aren't subsidiaries of Tencent
So what do radical leftists suppose we do when 99% of businesses in the US are Chinese owned in the next 50 years?
free market nigga
it be like that sometimes
idk
They don't care. They hate america so much they would burn down the whole country and call it an improvement
capitalists don't care as long as they get their money
tankies will worship literally anything that isn't the U.S. even if its unironically even more fascist
>How will the game industry survive if so much shit gets banned all at once?
HOLY SHIT! Trump is banning all of the worst AAA companies I hate?
And now we will have less AAA Loot Box games and more Inide Games?
This dude is based! 4 more years I say!
>HE'S USING UNREAL ENGINE.
NINTENDO BAN THIS MAN
and just like that the pozzed went bankrupt
BASED
This is literally only because the US and Irael want to be the ones in control of tiktok's data gathering, and to put pressure on China to sell tiktok to microsoft as their plan,
I'm okay with this.
I trust the US (And especially Israel) government even less than I trust the Chinese government
The world must see China for the freedom-crushing fascist state that it is.
it's weird how china does something really good, followed by an avalanche of human rights violations.
is this for real?
Holy fuck, that came far sooner than I imagined.
It's a shame most anything we'd care to see get affected probably won't be though, they generate too much money.
Based. Fuck Activision and fuck Epic and fuck chinks and fuck trannies. Decouple the games from chink influence and you'll see cultural maxism quickly vanishing.
> Decouple the games from chink influence and you'll see cultural maxism quickly vanishing.
Do you seriously believe this? The more Chinese money something has, the more Hollywood hates it.
good
hopefully the entire industry implodes
>riot games
...and nothing of value was lost
Damn you people are so retarded. First of all I'm sure that a lot of people are overreacting and it doesn't mean what they think BUT IF IT DOES, that just means that these companies will have to choose between American and Chinese market. They will in most cases divest from China, and China goes and kicks all the rocks that it should.
Don't cry at me nulefts and diaspora. Nulefts shouldn't be supporting megacorps anyway and as for diaspora this is just a taste, JUST a taste, of their own medicine.
You retards. Tencent is just going to sell the company assets knowing that they're worthless to them. Nothing will happen.
>webm
>looks like a low quality gif
>2.36 MB, 564x352
>only 9s
delete this shit my dude
/v/ is so fucking cool. I thought people said you guys were absolute trash of a board, but I''m seeing something completely different.
>votes right their entire life
>throws a party in celebration when left wing policies are enacted
???
>vote left my entire life
>be happy when otherwise idiot right politician does something right
It's called giving credit where credit is due.
>you must be entirely right in every way shape or form or you must be left in entirely every shape and form, no inbetween
this is why your parents shouldn't allow your underaged ass on the computer.
> banning spyware apps is left wing
The Right Wing thing to do is unironically to expect the market to regulate itself. Even if that's retarded.
The combined Chinese US Market is in no way a free market. Only one half has copyright law upheld or any sort of human rights regulations while the other half has government hands deep in its pockets. There's no point in letting the market sort it out when it's not a free market to begin with
So you've finally realized that the free market actually needs government intervention in the forms of regulations and restrictions, for the market actually be free?
Or else the rich just seizes control of the market. Which really opposes the free market.
That's what the Right Wing never understood for some reason.
>think in black or white only
turns out everyone wants different things, and that we share this world, weird
RIDIN WIT THAT WISH A NIGGA WOULD
I'm going to be dropping some free game keys (U.S. activation only) since it seems /v/ is absolutely based.
If he does this I'll register to vote for him. This is the funny shit I was hoping for when I saw him get elected. I don't care about politics, if he can make me laugh, I want him in power.
That's how he got voted in the first time.
I'm comfortable with that
>bans call of duty and fortnite in 1 move
based trump
This is the single best thing Trump has ever done (and I honestly think he's a fucking buffoon). The Chinese scourge and its allies must be purged.
He's just doing this so people don't notice that he's sitting on his ass twiddling his thumbs and not doing anything about how half of America is on fire over the most retarded of riots
are you posting from a month ago? They're arresting untold hordes of looters caught on camera and with cell location data
