I doubt the CCP has less leverage. Tencent owns a chunk of a lot of gaming companies (not just Epic, but they've been aggressive at buying a percentage of a lot of midsized companies.) Heck, selling a chunk of your gaming company to a Chinese company as a condition to get access to the Chinese market has been a standard practice. For larger companies, gaming is a division of a much larger company that still has business son China or relies on partners who do.

I'd like to imagine their influence will wane, but China has been excellent at getting long term influence with a lot of dollars and euros.
