It's not that they are "a Chineese" company, it is that they have issues that are repeated in every game they have and it turns into a privacy / morality nightmare.

I.e. chat is censored, so cannot type "free Taiwan". Also the game is catered to casual players. This led them to add bots to PvP matches - where every 2 losses you get put into an unskippable bot match, where you stomp the other team. This is to make you keep playing and not get discouraged. But once you know about it, it's just a 15 min pity waste of time you could spend actually playing the game.
