#BTS Falls Prey to Chinese Netizens' Attack

BTS, a Korean boy band representing the success of K-pop around the world, was named the winner of the James A. Van Fleet Award 2020 by The Korea Society in the United States on October 7, 2020. The band was credited as one of the reasons for the closer relationships between South Korea and the U.S.

In their acceptance speech, BTS mentioned that 2020 marks 70 years after the Korean War: "We will always remember this painful history shared by our two countries and the countless men and women who sacrificed their lives".

However, this speech by BTS provoked many Chinese netizens, who condemned BTS for "humiliating China". Posts attacking BTS surged in China. A comment posted on a social media platform that read, "Get lost, BTS is dead" garnered over 1.66 million 'likes' and over 36,000 comments in China.

Series A Club in Italy - Kalidou Koulibaly asked for release of Uyghurs; Chinese Internet Troll: Wish Them All Have Broken Legs such Orangutan!

(02 Oct) China have crushed and persecuted millions of Uyghurs over many years, poor human rights reputation have already spread around the World, Mesut Ozil is blocked by the media in China due to his speech of criticising China persecuted Uyghur in the Twitter. His name could not be found in any press or report in China, superseding by “Number 10”. Last Thursday, Napoli’s defender Koulibaly Koulibaly posted in his Instagram for expressing his support for Uyghur who were detained in the Xinjiang Re-education Camps. However, his behaviour, again, was led to Chinese netizen leaving comment under his Instagram post, some even insult this defender of Napoli as “Oranguton”.

China was alleged to build Re-Education Camps in Xinjiang for the purpose to persuade Uyghur, which have been leading to many supports for Uyghur from SportStars. Time to express support from Koulibaly on Instagram: “Millions Uyghur Muslim are detained and tortured in concentration camps in China. Not for what they do, but for who they are. This is the largest scale of imprison in 21th Century, it must be ended!”

China netizens immediately attacked Koulibaly by leaving comments in his Instagram post:”an Orangutan have not yet evoluted”, “object with Cerebral Palsy broke your legs”, “You are also brain-washed by overseas media, innocent please don’t speak bullshit”. It is believed that media in China will use the same way to block this defender of Napoli, by naming him as “number 26”, after Koulibaly supporting Uyghur in Instagram.

Apart from Koulibaly, a football star from French, Franck Ribery, also publish relevant post in Instagram, to stand with Koulibaly for expressing their support for Uyghur. But Ribery expected the attack from Chinese netizen, so that he had closed the leaving comment function in advanced.

"Let's Say We're Japanese": Chinese in #Ukraine Fear Retribution after Insulting Posts from #ChineseNetizens

As Russian armed forces invaded Ukraine, numerous Chinese netizens made posts in support of Russia. Some posts even sarcastically said, "beautiful ladies of Ukraine, come to China".

These posts have drawn the ire of the Ukrainian public, according to a video by a Chinese student who said he was living in Ukraine. "They're a bit emotional about this," he said. Chinese living in Kyiv have begun telling others that they're Japanese; "We don't even dare to call ourselves Chinese anymore."

He called on China's "keyboard warriors" to show restraint, and stop offending the Ukrainians.

The student quoted posts made by Chinese netizens, such as: "Good for Ukraine to have a war; the more deaths the better. This way I could have an Ukrainian mistress." Local media have reported about these posts, complete with translations; "basically, all Ukrainians know."

In shelters, locals would ask Chinese students like himself about the posts, and whether Chinese people are really like this. As a result, many of them don't dare to take shelter in the metro stations with other Ukrainians.

"Give us a little chance to survive," he implored his audience in China. He said that when Ukrainians in Kyiv asked Chinese citizens where they are from, "We say we're Japanese. We don't even dare to call ourselves Chinese anymore, all thanks to you. Do you need a wife that badly? You've lost your humanity. So many of them are dying in the war; how dare you say "good for them" because you might get an Ukrainian wife."

With a sigh, he concluded: "If Chinese people here get beaten or shot to death, it will be thanks to you keyboard warriors."

Since Friday, Feb 25, 2022, China's social media giants #Weibo, #WeChat, and #TikTok have begun censoring accounts that made such offensive remarks. Weibo announced that they processed 542 such posts, and deducted social credit scores of 74 accounts. Tiktok said that it had processed 6,400 videos that have violated rules, and terminated 1,620 live streams.

Chinese in Ukraine Are Trying to Pass for Japanese as Anger Grows over Pro-Invasion Comments by ‘Little Pink’

As #Russia receives overwhelming censure for invading #Ukraine, comments supporting the aggression and deriding Ukrainian women were made on the Internet by the jingoistic #LittlePink and opinion leaders in #China. With the locals getting word of the remarks and anger boiling over, Chinese students in Ukraine are reportedly trying to pass for Japanese. China’s embassy in Ukraine issued an advisory in the early hours of Saturday, 26 February, warning nationals against openly identifying as Chinese and displaying the Chinese flag.

In a clip circulating on Twitter, a Chinese man claiming to be a student at Ukraine’s National University of Life and Environmental Sciences notes that some of his compatriots are making derisive comments on the Internet like “It’s a good war they’re waging in Ukraine—the more deaths the better. That way I’ll be getting a Ukrainian girl as wife”. With the remarks translated into English and Russian and having made their way to Ukraine, he says, Chinese students in Ukraine are finding themselves isolated.

“I just got a message saying that many in China are making gibes on the Internet like ‘It’s a good war they’re waging in Ukraine—the more deaths the better. That way I’ll be getting a Ukrainian girl as wife’,” the student reports. “You know the Ukrainian media have picked them up and translated them, and now basically every Ukrainian knows about them. Down in the bomb shelters in the Kyiv subway, old ladies and young people went asking Chinese students if they really feel that way. A lot of us are now scared to stay there. To all the keyboard fighters in China: show some respect and give us a chance to live.”

China State Media Demonizes its Netizens' #StandWithUkraine Effort

Since Russia began its invasion of Ukraine, Chinese-language comments supporting the aggression and deriding Ukrainian women were made by #LittlePink and opinion leaders on various social media platforms in China. Other Chinese-speaking netizens, who were appalled at these comments and behaviors, began translating them into other languages and posting them online for the world to see.

Calling themselves "The Great Translation Movement", the volunteer translators soon caught the attention of international media - as well as China's own propaganda machine.

Global Times, a tabloid owned by the Chinese Communist Party, condemned these volunteer translation efforts for painting China in a negative light. In a Weibo post on March 17, 2022, The Party mouthpiece called the translations an "evil force", inciting Anti-China hate on the Internet and endangering China as a whole. It also accused the participants to be supported by "foreign, anti-China forces", suggesting that they lacked "normal morals" and could not bear to see China's successful development - and its "temporary problems".
