I. CN Server Hall of Fame
Every hard-fought battle in Mythic raids is worth remembering. Starting from the new expansion, the CN server will launch an exclusive Mythic raid leaderboard.

The core members of the first 50 CN server guilds to complete the Mythic difficulty challenges of the three major 12.0 raids will receive customized physical souvenirs. Furthermore, every guild that completes the challenge will be listed on the leaderboard, forever engraving your legacy of protecting Azeroth. The birth of the CN Server Hall of Fame benefits from our governance of the raid environment, and its arrival also sets higher requirements for continuing to maintain fair play. We will absolutely do our utmost to safeguard the efforts of the braves.

IV. More Exciting First Kill Bounties
The World First bounty prepared for the CN server teams has accumulated to 1.6 million RMB. With three raids in 12.0, how is it calculated? Of course, every single one counts! Each raid will add 200,000 RMB to the total prize pool, a super acceleration! Although an objective gap exists, perhaps a CN server team can suddenly rise in the single-boss raid "Dream Rift" and pull off an upset to take the prize? Let's wait and see! The 500,000 RMB top-three bonus introduced in the last patch is still in effect, just one step away. We wish the CN braves smooth sailing in their challenges.

Why do we care about the Chinese servers? They are completely isolated, noone cares.

LOL paying out for a 1 boss raid. I know they've been really close before on the multi-boss raids in the past, so kudos to them, but I just find this really amusing.

It's the same game you play, minus some periodic exclusive cosmetics.

Not true. They also have the Titan Reforged Servers, Master Loot in Retail, strict censorship regarding skeletal models, hard crackdown on boosting and raid carrying, as well as reward programs for reporting illicit behavior. It's not the same game we play.(##RESPBREAK##)

Titan Reforged is not related to retail (also we had Season of Discovery, which they didn't get to play).
Master Loot changes aren't in until 12.0.5, and it's just a simplification - it doesn't do anything we can't already do.
Censorship stuff isn't as real as you think it is, and would also only be cosmetic.
The crackdown was specifically on piloting which NA/EU also ban for (see Hopeful as a recent high-profile example), but it isn't nearly as widespread here, so there's no need for such crackdown. It still has no effect on the game content regardless.
The reward program is also just for cosmetics.

So yeah, it is the same game you're playing, minus some periodic exclusive (and some not) cosmetics. Keep in mind that NA/EU also have cosmetic perks like Twitch drops, special bundles, and promotions not available in China either, so if China is wholly different because of their cosmetics, then you'd have to say that NA and EU are to each other as well.(##RESPBREAK##)
