Sure this one has a finished ending, but how much faith do we have in D&D for interpreting such a distinctively Chinese story? It takes a considerable amount of knowledge and understanding in Chinese history and culture to even read these books, let alone adapt them. Nothing D&D have done has demonstrated such strengths.
It says the author and the translator will be consulters but of course we can’t know how the end result will be.

The five Republican senators explain that their reasoning stems from an interview that Liu gave to the New Yorker in summer 2019. When journalist Jiayang Fan asked the author about the internment camps in Xinjiang. She wrote, “He trotted out the familiar arguments of government-controlled media: ‘Would you rather that they be hacking away at bodies at train stations and schools in terrorist attacks? If anything, the government is helping their economy and trying to lift them out of poverty… If you were to loosen up the country a bit, the consequences would be terrifying.’”
Yikes. I don’t know what to say. On one hand, to support what the CCP is doing to Uighurs is abhorrent, but on the other it’s not like the guy could have said “the government is wrong”. HP Lovecraft was a racist, and Coco Chanel was a nazi, but their legacies are celebrated.
