  • German Video Game ‘Conflict of Nations: WW3’ Developer Posts Map Labelling China as ‘West Taiwan’

    Taipei, December 14: German video game ‘Conflict of Nations: WW3’ ad posted a map of China labelling it as ‘West Taiwan’. The advertisement apparently appeared some time in early December, with many netizens first sharing and commenting on it on December 3, reported Taiwan News.

    The real-time massively multiplayer online game is set in the 20th and 21st centuries and simulates a third world war with multiple maps and scenarios to choose from. In each match, up to 128 real opponents can participate as they try to lead their countries in becoming the “dominating superpower on the planet.”

    The ad has since disappeared, and the map inside the game itself follows countries’ standard official names and boundaries. Earlier this month, a Facebook advertisement for Conflict of Nations: World War 3, which was developed by the German video game company Bytro Labs, surfaced showing a map depicting most of China as “West Taiwan.” The region of Xinjiang was listed as an independent country called “Uyghur,” while Mongolia is labelled as “China”. Mobile Game Spending To Reach USD 89.6 Billion Globally in 2021.

    The use of the term “West Taiwan” to mock China has steadily grown in popularity since January 2020 when President Tsai Ing-wen said that Beijing needs to face the reality that Taiwan is already an independent country.

    At the time, netizens conjured terms such as “Mainland Taiwan,” “Taiwanese Beijing,” and “West Taiwan” to agitate Chinese nationalists, censors, and trolls, reported Taiwan News. In May of this year, Toronto Sun columnist Brian Lilley tweeted a map with China labelled as “West Taiwan” that quickly went viral.

  • Google Maps Mislead German & Uttarakhand Tourists Heading to Udaipur; Car Gets Stuck in Mud Leaving Them in the Middle of Nowhere

    Google Maps Mislead German & Uttarakhand Tourists Heading to Udaipur; Car Gets Stuck in Mud Leaving Them in the Middle of Nowhere

    When it comes to road maps, Google Maps come in extremely handy. For proper direction, several people across the world depend on Google Maps. For urban areas locations, the applications show the locations accurately; however, for rural areas locations, the application cannot be trusted fully. Recently, a group of tourists from Germany and Uttarakhand were heading to Udaipur, Rajasthan but unfortunately they got stuck in the middle of nowhere while following Google Maps.

    According to the News18 report, after being misled by Google Maps, the tourists had got stuck in a village in Rajasthan. According to Cartoq report, the tourists were travelling in a Grand i10 and after they took a single lane that was not developed; their car got stuck in slush. The app showed them an alternative route that was faster when they were on Navania highway. And they ended in slush after choosing the alternative route. Reportedly, the road was perfect in the beginning but as they progressed it got worse.

    The tyres of the car were unable to find traction and it was almost skidding as the road was so bad. Later, the car got stuck in a muddy area. Apparently, in the past, a huge tractor was also got stuck on that road. The tourists called their friends after the car was stuck. Their friends came to their rescue with ropes and a tractor.

    To guide the tractor to the spot, the tourists had to travel a distance of two kilometres on foot. Around 1 PM, their car got stuck in the muddy area while it had been pulled out by 6 PM. To complete the whole car rescue, the tractor took almost around two hours.

    Police use water canon due to violent German lockdown protests

    With Germany in the fourth month of lockdown and vaccination efforts, many, from shopkeepers to holiday makers, are increasingly resting on the lack of a clear path to return, compared to Britain and the United States.

    Germany police deployed watercannon and pepper spray after a gathering of some 20,000 protesters against lockdown and other coronovirus regulations, Germany turned violent, with some protesters throwing up on police.

    Protesters from across Germany gathered in the central city of Kassel for the march, organized by the “Querdanker” – “Lateral Thinkers” – online conspiracy movement.

    “Bottles were thrown and efforts were made to remove the bottlenecks,” police said on Twitter.

    Police said the protesters defied instructions that ensured the safety of people, including refusing to wear facemasks and following socially perverse guidelines.

    The protesters carried placards reading “No compulsory” and “Democracy will not tolerate censorship”.

    The marchers faced counter-protesters wearing face masks, one of which grabbed a placard reading “Vaccination”.

    With Germany in the fourth month of lockdown and vaccination efforts, many, from shopkeepers to holiday makers, are increasingly resting on the lack of a clear path to return, compared to Britain and the United States.

    National and regional leaders are on Monday to consult on the next steps in the national lockdown. But with the number of rapidly increasing cases leading to the spread of more infectious variants, many politicians are saying that it is too early to reduce the restrictions.
