The word “nation” as you quoted above isn’t present in the post by Blizzard linked here. Is your quote from another Blizzard statement somewhere?

It was posted by Blizzard's partner in China, NetEase, on an official Blizzard account on weibo.

>We will defend the pride of our nation
That statement was made by NetEase, a Chinese company, not Blizzard.

It was made by a company that works for blizzard under blizzard's name as an official blizzard response to the event. Your failure to include this information makes it look like you are attempting to mislead people.
> If this had been the opposing viewpoint delivered in the same divisive and deliberate way, we would have felt and acted the same.
Also Blizzard:
> We will defend the pride of our nation (that nation being China)
So when will they be terminating the people in their company that posted that announcement on behalf of the company? Oh wait, they won't be, because this company is completely and utterly full of shit. This is a company that will ban players for using naughty words, but won't ban a country from the market place for actual real life atrocities. People like this make me ashamed to be American. Honesty and integrity mean nothing in this country. All people care about is whether you use nice words.
