Tencent, the parent company of Riot Games, has been blacklisted by the American government.
However, the company is now facing serious problems over its alleged ties with the Chinese military.
A Tencent spokesperson shared the following statement with GameSpot.
“Tencent’s inclusion on this list is clearly a mistake.
We are not a military company or supplier.
Unlike sanctions or export controls, this listing has no impact on our business.
We will nonetheless work with the Department of Defense to address any misunderstanding.
