Taiwanese female artist Rainie Yang held a concert in Zhengzhou, Henan on the 9th. During the concert, she joked, “Henan people can’t be like this. You already have some reputation. You know it, right? You love to lie.” This caused controversy, and an apology afterwards could not completely stop the bleeding. The organizer of the conference has been interviewed by relevant mainland authorities. Recently, it was reported that Rainie Yang was recording Sichuan Satellite TV’s New Year’s Eve party. Mainland netizens took to Sichuan Satellite TV’s Weibo to protest.
Rainie Yang made her first appearance since the incident on the 13th. She was photographed appearing at Chengdu Airport in a low-key manner, with her whole body wrapped tightly and not saying a word. It was rumored that this trip was to record Sichuan Satellite TV’s New Year program, which triggered a backlash from many mainland netizens. They rushed to Sichuan Satellite TV’s Weibo to protest, shouting angrily: “I heard that your New Year’s Eve party invited Rainie Yang, who said the war of resistance was only eight years old?” , “Is there Rainie Yang? Resolutely resist”, “I wonder which guard dares to use bad artists, report it directly to the Culture and Sports Bureau and Radio and Television”, “Sichuan Satellite TV invites Rainie Yang, which is openly supporting regional discrimination and openly inciting ethnic hatred. Report it to the end.”

After Rainie Yang made the mistake, she quickly apologized on Weibo the next day: “I want to apologize for the offensive and impolite joke at the Zhengzhou concert. I’m sorry. It was indeed my fault, and I am very willing and should accept everyone’s timely corrections and criticisms.” Once again, I solemnly apologize to those who have been troubled because of me.” These remarks could not completely quell the anger of netizens. In the past, comments such as “The war of resistance against Japan has only lasted eight years” and “The Nanjing Massacre only killed 300,000 people” were criticized again. Excavated; even Taiwanese netizens were dissatisfied, thinking that Rainie Yang had bluntly stated in Lu Zong that it was difficult to eat seafood in Taiwan and that eating seafood was a luxury. She was criticized by Taiwan for not apologizing. This time she offended the mainland and immediately came out to admit her mistake.
