Excerpt from the dev's website (very bottom of the page):

This game is a work of NON-FICTION. Any similarity to actual agencies, policies or ethnic groups of the PRC in this game is INTENTIONAL.

Dev is a fucking legend. Tankies can go fuck themselves whinging about this.

For those wondering without wanting to click, the title is "Reversed Front: Bonfire". It's supposed to depict an independent Taiwan and Hong Kong which is what obviously pissed off the delicate sensibilities of the CCP.

Sadly a mobile game so it's not really worth your time as it has in app purchases.

But what could be worth your time is Devotion, a Taiwanese horror game which is not available on any store front (but their own) after an easter egg criticial of Xi Jinping was found.
