- b1n 5y agoJust noticed how bad the color choice is on that chart. The lightest red (pink) is actually "Unlikely to ban".
- renewiltord 5y agoWestern Europe is somehow supposed to be in the Second World in this Universe. The only way that’s true is if the US player is forced on the Early War card Degaulle Rules France and not permitted to play NATO. I declare this comparison Bogus History!
- rkk3 5y agoThe win condition has been updated, now it is if you have control of Asia you win. Coups are now also allowed in Europe at Defcon 4.
- chrononaut 5y agoWhy on Earth is "Unlikely to ban" close to the same shade of red as "On the fence" and "(Partial) ban in effect", while "Using Huawei" is green.
- ekianjo 5y agoThat's one of the worst color coding ever.
- tvphan 5y agoI suspect the person who created this chart probably reckoned that anything less than “using Huawei” is a bad thing
- satonakamoto 5y agoTo fool people with impress: "MOST" of the world NOT using Huawei, Only "GREEN" area using.

- mcdoh 5y agoI'm colorblind and this looks way better, thanks!
- IAmWorried 5y agoSo we have 3 categories that mean "has not banned", and 1 category that actually means "banned". What on earth does "on the fence" mean? How is "unlikely to ban" any different from "using Huawei"? This chart is one of the worst I've ever seen, regardless of the color coding - seems the objective was to make China look alone or something? Who knows.
- moogly 5y agoThe just-announced Aukus military pact leaves no doubt in my mind. Pretty overt.
