Hello.
Dear Minecraft vulnerability auditor, I am not here to report the vulnerability, but to provide feedback on a serious issue. Regarding the international version of MC in China, perhaps only this method can make you pay attention to this issue as soon as possible. Recently, api.minecraftservices.com has been redirected by China's National Anti Fraud Center, resulting in almost all MC Chinese players being unable to log in to the genuine Minecraft, even unable to access the market of the bedrock version, and unable to modify the skin of the bedrock version.
Many of our group members believe that this incident is related to Minecraft's agent NetEase in China. Previously, NetEase had engaged in many actions to suppress international server MCs in China. They erased the logo of the Chinese version of the international version of Minecraft and claimed to be the official Minecraft on major Chinese platforms, doing everything they could to prevent Chinese players from knowing about the existence of the international version, making as many people as possible believe that Minecraft was originally created by NetEase.
In addition, NetEase also reported recommending videos from third-party initiators for offline use, conducting DDoS attacks on some offline server public welfare services (this is uncertain and there is no clear evidence to prove that NetEase did it), and blocking the international version purchase channel to prevent Chinese players from purchasing the international version. There are many low-quality elementary school players in China, and many high-quality players are opposed to NetEase's agents. In the early days, NetEase only added a large amount of flashy recharge content to the Chinese version of MC, but now they are directly starting to wreak havoc on the international version of the player community.
Although NetEase has agency rights in China, we believe that we should still retain the right to play the international version, rather than monopolizing it like NetEase does now. We sincerely hope that you can detect this issue as soon as possible. If NetEase's behavior becomes more serious, we will revoke the agency contract with NetEase. We sincerely hope that you can take this issue seriously and report it for us. Thank you again for your patient reading.
您好。
尊敬的Minecraft漏洞审核员,我并不是来报告漏洞的,而是想反馈一个严重的问题,关于在中国的国际版MC,或许只有这种方法才能让您尽快的关注到这个问题。近期api.minecraftservices.com被中国的国家反诈中心重定向,导致几乎所有的MC中国玩家全部无法登录正版Minecraft,甚至无法访问基岩版的市场,以及无法修改基岩版的皮肤。我们大量群友认为这次事件和Minecraft在中国的代理商网易有关。先前,网易在中国干出过很多打压国际服MC的行为,他们抹除了中国版国际版MINECRAFT的LOGO字样,在各大中国平台自称Minecraft官方,尽自己一切所能阻止中国玩家知道国际版的存在,让尽量多的人认为Minecraft是网易原创的。此外,网易还举报下架第三方启动器推荐视频、对部分离线服公益进行DDoS攻击(这条并不确定,没有明确的证据能说明是网易做的)、将国际版购买渠道锁区使得中国玩家无法购买国际版等。在中国有很多素质低的小学生玩家,而很多高素质玩家都对网易的代理持反对态度。早期网易只是在中国版MC加入了大量华而不实的充值内容,而现在他们直接开始大肆破坏国际版玩家社区。虽然说网易在中国有代理权,但是我们认为我们依然应该被保留游玩国际版的权利,而不是像现在的网易这样一刀垄断。我们恳切地希望你们能够尽早察觉到这一问题,如果网易的行为愈发严重,撤销和网易的代理合约。恳切希望您能够重视这一问题,并为我们上报。再次感谢您的耐心阅读。

This appears to be feedback regarding recent API changes, which sounds like a result of a government decision.
We do currently have an open report: WEB-6711 which highlights an issue with the redirect causing logins not to function properly. If this is the issue you're describing here, then please view this report and feel free to add any new information as a comment.
