Nope, they can do whatever they want. The contract allows them to.
But it's not a matter of whether or not this was a legal move or not, it's the intent and what it has shed light onto that is the actual real problem.
China is controlling our media and it is becoming harder and harder to ignore. Companies have to watch their step when saying anything because if China, for god knows what reason, decides that something that comes from you does not fall in line with their ideology, be it a line of dialogue in your movie, or a flag in a videogame, or a winning player's speech in this case... Well, good luck without that chinese market.
It could mean death for some companies, so everyone does their best to try to avoid the issue altogether. Now it's fairly easy to do so, but what about the future? Is this not alarming?
Sure, keep politics out of games. Let's keep it out of movies as well. And books. Let's not talk about politics altogheter, not even on social media, or China might decide that the company you're working for does not get to work with them until they fire you.
It might sound exaggerated and reeks of slippery-slope fallacy. Is it? Personally, I think not.
This has to stop.
