ASUS e-sports brand ROG is embroiled in the war of “Chinese Identity” today, and is performing a farce between family and family.
Japan ROG has a good reputation for operating the Japanese PC market for a long time. The market feels that they have long been attracted to Hololive Vtubers, and they have had several cooperation records in the past.
Today (17) Japan ROG, originally scheduled to cooperate with Hololive’s Vtubers again, invited three people, Bai Shang Fuxue (白上フブキ), Mao You Xiao Congee (猫又おかゆ), Shi Bai Mudan (狮白ぼたん) in the evening. I’m going to have a wave of annual business for my own products, and even the exclusive mall page is ready.
However, after the Dragon Heart incident this year, Hololive has been tagged by netizens on the other side and has become one of the fixed targets of attacks. The news spread back to China, and many Chinese netizens started to make trouble on China’s ROG official Weibo.
The editor responsible for managing ROG China’s official account completely disregarded the official identity, venting his nostrils with Chinese netizens, and made arrogant remarks saying that “I am trying to intervene in canceling the live broadcast at night”, “Kikou nm will die (Holo, your mother will die)”, “The knife is already It’s on the neck of the boss.”
Less than 5 pm, Japan’s ASUS quietly pulled down the shopping mall page booked with Hololive, and then the live broadcast room scheduled today disappeared and turned into a private one. Baishang Chuuxue’s Twitter also announced the cancellation, showing that the Chinese protest was effective.

Although ASUS was born in Taiwan, the Taiwan headquarters has not yet come forward to explain the incident.
