Circling back to the point of CCP censorship, my worry is that if the team is so focused on commercialization in China, they may decide to heterosexualize him.
Clearly, the team takes great artistic license in their portrayal of any leader in Civ.

And portraits do not move, or talk, so when I say "creative license" I am recognizing that each and every leader portrayal in Civ VI is both a cartoon and a caricature.
China is very sensitive about how "western" media portray Chinese history.
Mostly it's movies but I suppose games fall into that category.
Even Marvel's Shang Chi was blocked in China because of the Mandrin AFAIK.
The Mandrin has been portrayed as an evil Hitler like figure that has disgruntled China.
Marvel even went so far as to change the comic book Mandrin (supposedly Shang Chi's father) to something else.
Still China blocked it.
And they have some laws to do so.
Last thing 2K+Firaxis want is to block sales of Civ VI in China...especially having released a Rulers of China pack,
giving China the most number of rulers and personas of any civ in Civ VI.
Actually Shang-Chi's father in the original Marvel comics was Fu Manchu (who originated in some novels). Since Marvel doesn't have the rights to that character anymore and he's a racial stereotype/yellow peril character, they made his father the "Mandarin" in the MCU. In the comics, the Mandarin was a separate character who was often the main villain of Iron Man. He was also portrayed similarly to Fu Manchu.
Pretty much all the MCU movies since Endgame have been banned in China, for one reason or another.
I don't really get Hong Kong being a separate City-State from China in the game (yeah it was a British colony for a while, but it's basically a Chinese city). So I don't really care about that. I do care that Lhasa wasn't made a City-State in Civ6. And no Kuala Lumpur or Melaka/Malacca in the game too....
Imagine if we had a City-State representing the Uyghurs in the game....like Khotan/Kashgar/etc

They removed that last piece. Very interesting that they hotfixed an intro quote. View attachment 651853
They also cut off Sean Bean's version of it as well, FWIW ...
