Why are Chinese developers still being excluded from the global ecosystem?

[changmen1]

Currently, the Riot Games API supports almost every major region (NA, EUW, KR, SEA, etc.), but leaves the largest player base in the world in a "black hole."

Developer Inequality: Why should we have to resort to reverse-engineering LCU or using unstable scrapers just to get basic match history, while developers in other regions enjoy a well-documented global API?

Broken Ecosystem: Since Riot is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tencent, the lack of data integration between the two is technically absurd. It creates a massive barrier for developers trying to build cross-platform tools (Electron, React Native) that aim to serve the global community.

The "Tencent" Excuse: We are tired of hearing "Tencent handles the data." As the parent company, there should be a unified data standard.

Request:
We don't need special treatment; we just want Developer Equality. Please provide a clear roadmap or a relay bridge between the Riot API and Tencent data. Stop making us feel like "second-class" developers in the League of Legends ecosystem.

The matter of the fact is that compared to the rest of the regions.
Tencent is in fact operating the servers and not Riot and Tencent just chooses to not make the data available publicly via the API likely also because they don't want the Chinese player data to be available outside of China.
So this is absolutely in Tencents hands and considering the API makes no money for Riot there is also no incentive for them to "pressure" Tencent to make the data available
