What a shame we haven't seen her at all this year. Hoyo's too scared of pissing off the CCP.

What does Raiden Shogun have to do with the CCP? There's some drama involving this character? She appeared briefly in a side event a while back, right?

IIRC, there's been some IRL tensions between China and Japan lately, and Raiden is from the Genshin universe's Japan equivalent.

Adding onto this, supposedly HSR's Planarcadia was supposed to be way more japanese, and the reason for the delay of version 4.0 was to scrub as much japanese elements as possible in order to not piss off the gaggle of manchildren in charge of the country.
This is also thought to be the reason for ZZZ's Angels of Delusion having their names changed from japanese to whatever it is they are now.
