some Wow players in China is trying to takeover our land and turn it to a Second Chinese Server, utterly convert the atmosphere and culture of our server.
It may be irrelevant to you, but as a ex-player who enjoys Wow and love the community as much as everybody else, I still want to spread this message out. Please forgive my grammatical mistake or my trash-like English, thanks.
First of all, I need to inform you some background info. In the Chinese Culture Zone is divided into two parts, China, and non-China due to some complicated historical and political reasons. Therefore, players in China have their own independent server, while the remainders have a common server which is connected to the global environment.
However, with the break up of the partnership with NetEase, the China Server will be shut down.
As a fans of blizzard, at least in the past, surely, I can understand their current situation and emphasize it. It will be very normal to try to flee to here and continue their game. To what I can see, it's the major idea of the player community as well.
Nonetheless, in one of the most popular Wow Forum in China, NGA, they are planning to Siege the Server down using their advantage in numbers, to take it and turn it to their own, not to get along with the natives and respect our own culture and environment.
They said that they would report all the players that uses traditional Chinese, says anything bad about the Chinese Government etc., so as to get us out of the server.
So yeah, maybe we won't be able to play on our server anymore. Sweet sweet Imperialism...
Hope y'all are patient enough to read till here, again, sorry for my English, damn it sucks a lot.

Not verified, but kind of expected.

Are they all going to use vpns or does Blizzard just not give a fuck about blocking Chinese IPs?

I believe it's run by Blizzard Taiwan and has frequently had issues with servers, DDOS attacks, bots, etc. With Netease shutting down servers in China soon, it seems like Chinese nationals are jumping ship. But there have been banwaves in the past for people using VPNs on the Taiwan server.

Would blizzard really ban people in Taiwan for bashing the CCP? Or does blizzard just ban anyone reported without reading what the "crime" actually was?

It's generally automated, yes. They are supposed to have live humans "review" it, but
