Abstract

"Monkey Business" from Foreign Policy discusses the cultural significance of China's video game Black Myth: Wukong, based on the classic novel Xiyouji. The game has become a source of national pride, selling millions of copies and generating significant revenue. While the game has been praised for its stunning visuals and boss fights, it has also faced criticism for its lack of humor and female representation. Despite these critiques, Black Myth represents a milestone in Chinese video game development and storytelling, with potential for future sequels to further explore the Monkey King's legacy.
