The chinese themselves actually prefer playing on local servers due to the amount of shit talking they get while playing on global servers. Unending amount of Tiananmen copypasta and free Hong Kong slogan its sickening.

Good.

They lag hard and they seem to hack and use cheats at higher percentages than non Chinese. There are lots of movements to segregate Chinese players onto their own servers in games like DotA 2 and Cs:go. The CCP decided that the people who spam the copypasta about how bad the CCP is were actually making an impact.

China literally got trolled out of video games - but it's because they trolled the world first. Reap what you sow...

Few years back I would occasionally run into groups of Chinese players that were creating 'bigger teams' in PUBG (usually you play team as team of 4 deathmatch with 100 players). They must have bigger groups queuing at the same time with same type of cosmetics to form bands of up to 12 players.

Its a lot of 'fun' to play 4 v 12. Trust me. </s>

As bad as it sounds I am glad they will be kept out by their own government.

I don't doubt it. Like I said, troll-shielding. The more interesting consequences of that don't happen in game chats though. The censorship apologists come out in force in the wake of a competitive player being banned for publicly supporting the HK protesters was a good demonstration of that. They were clearly struggling to understand the value of free-speech, and the fact that those accustomed to it are unaffected by "You wanna hurt my national pride?! Well I'm glad 9/11 happened! See, free speech is bad!"
