Activision have been accused of censoring the trailer for Call of Duty Black Ops: Ҷанги Сард on behalf of the Chinese government, after it used footage from the Tienanmen Square protests.
As пештар гузориш дода шуд, ки Call of Duty Black Ops: Ҷанги Сард reveal teaser featured footage of Yuri Bezmenov, a KGB informant who defected in 1970. After his defection, he dedicated his life to warning the US about the dangers of communism, and the methodology communists (and the Soviet Union) use to subvert a nation.
The trailer featured brief shots of historical footage from the period of the Cold War (roughly 1941 to 1991). This included footage of the 1989 Tienanmen Square protests and massacre, specifically the student protesters on top of a tank (1:05).
The majority of the footage shows scenes from Russia, the United States, and the Vietnam War. Based on the context of the trailer, it may have been used to represent the riots and civil unrest within the US resulting from communist subversion.
Акнун, Шабакаи Ҷанубии Ҷанубӣ reports that the trailer was censored in China, removing the Tienanmen Square footage. On Chinese video platforms such as Билибили, the scene was replaced with a black screen.
Activision also released a версияи кӯтоҳтар of their trailer. While the initial trailer was unlisted and unlisted as part of a marketing campaign (where users had to seek out clues on a website), this new public trailer is only 1 minute long, and does not have the Tienanmen Square footage. The original trailer has now been privatized.
Considering the trailer is dubbed “Know Your History,” and discusses the tactics allegedly used by communist subverters in the US, many comments believe and are opposed to Activision censoring their trailer on behalf of the Chinese government. This may also be yet more consumers annoyed at seeing US companies act on behalf of the Chinese government.
