The accident sparked a fierce reaction from Chinese fans, resulting in the temporary suspension of their live streaming activities.
The reason is that during the VTuber Akai Xin live broadcast of the first stage of Hololive on the 24th of last week (supported by netizens), he revealed the proportion of fans of his YouTube channel in various countries, which showed that Taiwanese fans accounted for 7% of subscriptions. However, in the live broadcast, Akai Xin announced it by country and region, causing Chinese netizens to be dissatisfied with the fact that Taiwan is considered a country and thus causing Chinese netizens to attack. .

This incident led to the blocking of Xin Akai and Kiryu Coco’s bilibili live streaming space, and the YouTube video was either made private or cut against the backdrop of the continuing inflammation of Chinese netizens.
The parent company, COVER, finally issued an official statement today (27), punishing the two for three weeks of suspension of activities on the grounds that VTuber made inappropriate statements during the live broadcast and revealed confidential information about the channel’s operations. .
Subsequently, COVER issued an official Chinese statement on bilibili. In addition to apologizing to fans for the error in the content of the live stream, COVER also emphasized that COVER supports the one-China principle and will strengthen the education and management of its artists. However, there are still many Chinese netizens who have asked Kiryu Cocoa to withdraw from Hololive in response.
It is not just real artists or foreign stars who are restricted by their opinions. In the virtual world, be it a gaming product or a virtual idol, it is difficult to avoid similar political events to develop the Chinese market.
