Cyberpunk 2077, a game that will likely be about fighting the big corporations and those in power will likely be banned over China.

China nukes the US to pieces (even though the opposite also happened). Makes sense why it wans't banned.

Ooh? When did they do this in the timeline?
All I know is that the EU dropped 2 space rocks on the US because it was getting uppity and one time tried to take over Crystal Palace.

I was referring to content like these lines. Of course, one might say they are not serious, but censorship does not always have a sense of humor. Anyway, CP2077 is unlikely to be banned in China, and will probably have at least Chinese subtitles like past games by CDPR.

I wouldn't be so sure. I've been reporting on some the ... odd decisions China has made lately as far as gaming/tech goes. For example (I didn't write this):
"Just days after the Chinese Communist Party announced that presidential term limits could be abolished ... Chinese government censors issued an extensive list of newly banned words on the popular microblogging site Weibo.
The terms “my emperor” and “lifelong control” were banned from use, along with references to George Orwell’s dystopian novels Animal Farm and 1984..."
Not going to delve into the complex politics surrounding the issue, just using it as an example - China's ruling party is not known for being super open to violence (Even digital) and/or dissent. One government body was even saying PUBG should be banned back in October.
That said, of course there will (probably) be a Chinese translation. Seems like a no-brainer to me. There are Chinese immigrants who now live in Europe and America who may still want to play the game, and there's no guarantee China's government will crack down specifically on 2077 unless it has something particularly controversial. The sheer density of gamers in China (due to their insane population) should make this an easy decision for CDPR.
