The company added that it was working to “fix this as quickly as possible.” Google’s translation engine didn’t have a similar problem.

It’s hard not to laugh a little at the slip-up, especially when Xi Jinping is known to be sensitive to ridicule. However, Facebook’s Burmese translation flaws have also highlighted the company’s problems addressing the anti-Muslim violence in Myanmar. In one case, a post calling for genocide was interpreted as “I shouldn’t have a rainbow in Myanmar.” More accurate translations can not only avoid embarassment, but help document and defend against horrible acts.

One main reason for that seemingly odd trend is that manufacturers hoarded vast inventories of TVs ahead of a planned 25 percent tariff on Chinese products. However, the US and China cooled their trade war somewhat after a meeting between President Donald Trump and President Xi Jinping at G20, with Trump confirming the US would not impose that tariff for now. That left manufacturers with mountains of TVs they had to shift, and reducing prices is a key way to clear out the backlog.

Elsewhere, you might see a dip in prices on 32-inch displays this month, as those are said to be in oversupply too. The report also suggests some manufacturers will increase the ratio of production of 55-inch displays, as much as 4 percent year over year, which could also lead to a price drop in screens at that size.

Devotion mysteriously disappeared from Steam back in February after Chinese nationalists spotted a poster in the game that read, “Xi Jinping Winnie the Pooh moron”, according to GameDaily. Right-wing gamers immediately began flooding Steam with negative reviews of the game, calling out the Taiwanese video game developer for mocking the Mainland Chinese. Red Candle Games apologized for the incident and said the poster’s inclusion was accidental and vowed to fix the problem. Despite such measures, Devotion has yet to return to Steam. Another worrisome sign is that game developer Red Candle Games hasn’t tweeted since February 19th, the date of Devotion‘s release.

China’s aversion to Winnie the Pooh goes far beyond just direct comparisons of President Xi to the bear. The beloved A.A. Milne character itself is seen as a symbol of civic disobedience in the authoritarian regime. China’s censors began banning images of Winnie the Pooh after internet memes comparing the cuddly bear to the Chinese leader emerged after Xi visited the US in 2013. The nation has gone to extreme lengths to erase the image of the forgetful bear from public knowledge; even censoring the release of the 2018 film Christopher Robin and blocking HBO’s website after comedian John Oliver made fun of China’s censorship of the bear.

In the case of Devotion, the consequences of China’s censorship is especially troubling since even those outside of the nation can no longer play the game. Chinese regulators have shown no mercy in banning content considered harmful to the public good. Last December, the nation ended a nearly nine-month freeze on new game approvals and imposed new rules on blood and gambling in games. Given its power and status as the largest gaming market in the world, it’s likely China will still continue to have a lasting influence on video game publishers.
