  5. Lo que le hicieron HOMBRES ADULTOS a Tzuyu a sus 16 años, siendo una niña fue una mariconada y no tiene justificación, dicho eso lo que digan las "fuentes de seguridad" taiwanesas hay que tomarlo con pinzas ya que son parte interesada en un contexto de refriega geopolítica y lo que han esparcido hasta el momento no dejan de ser RUMORES sin respaldo real. Habrá que esperar.

  7. Guys relax tzuyu and her family is too smart to take any deal from CCP she don't want to play political game before and I am pretty sure she don't want now beside she is a global superstar with opportunity around the world far more better opportunity she already proven that and she put an end to all the rumour with her bubble update tzuyu love her country and hometown so much to take any deal from CCP

  8. Beware of mainland China entertainment agencies. Can possibly get beat up, threatened, SA'd, and even unalived, and government will look the other way… won't even get justice.

  10. If she doesn’t bend the knee.. 1000% she will gain interanatinoal support.. the money you make in china you can make around the world but not only that.. you keep your freedom. No amount of money should make you go to a place that made your life miserable for who you are..

    Chinese.. Taiwanese.. honkoger.. who tf cares.. we’re chinese.. ethnically but we chose to live in our home country.. Very simple.. at this type of thinking will die in china when the older gen dies.. just like what is going on in the west.. its the older generation that is holding on to power not allowing us to move forward with peace

  11. China can eat shit. They need to learn this kind of bullying, totalitarian behavior will be rejected. And far more people need to learn to stand up to them.

  12. 13:06 this logic is so stupid.. its like bts suddenly waving a North Korean flag.. thats not going to get everyone to support north kroea.. it would destroy bts.. the logic to think her fan base is going to go bro ccp… is so stupid.. jfc its so stupid.

  13. Excellent video, well done. Damn, this is getting messy.Entertainment is one of South Korea's chief money-makers right now, so of course it's a big deal, not to mention the politial weight Tzuyu carries with her. I love how Tzuyu gracefully stayed above it all and just focused on the fans. She's been truly forged in fire. Whatever she decides, I love Tzuyu so much, and can only hope for the best for her!

  14. Just like Korea, it wasn’t till 1945 that Taiwan (Formosa) was free of Japanese occupation and control. We have been recently reminded that many families in both countries that cooperated with the Japanese, went on to establish dynastic powerful business empires, even more powerful today. See Ahn Ha-young
    Two countries have constantly pushed for Taiwan independence. Japan and the U.S.

    Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's government is strongly aligned with Taiwan, viewing peace on the island as vital to Japan's own national survival. She says peace. Coming from a Japanese history atrocity denier, and the definition of Eastern MAGA, can the Japanese government, backed by the U.S. be trusted to carry out any plan that results in PEACE?

    Research chaebol families, establishment of Koreas largest corporations.

    The relationship between South Korea's chaebol families and prewar Japanese colonial cooperation is a deeply sensitive historical topic. While the vast majority of modern chaebols took off during the post-Korean War industrialization era under President Park Chung-hee, their foundational wealth and corporate structures were heavily influenced by the 1910–1945 Japanese colonial occupation.

    Please be aware these very same structures exist in Taiwan.
    Please also keep in mind, that Taiwan was ruled by the Chinese prior to Japanese occupation. Would any Koreans be happy to return to Japanese occupation?
    I’ll wait.

  16. The question remains especially to American media and it's agencies also netizens and politicians, since when politics is allowed to be thrown to Sports and entertainments?
    Don't argue with me if you support wars or racism or even disrespect

  18. 한국사람들은 아이돌들이 정치적 발언하는걸 좋아하지 않고 중국이 압박하는걸 싫어해서 케이팝스타로 남을려면 그런 발언 안해야 한다. 케이팝 스타로도 수백억 버는데 굳이 중국 눈치 볼 필요도 없고..

  19. 당시에 어찌나 화나던지요..
    진짜 너무 부당해서 속에서부터 알수없는 저항감이 끓어오르더리구요.
    어린 소녀가 얼마나 황당하고 말도 안되는 상황에 처해지는를 보는것과
    이렇게 정의와 반대되는 일을 단지 중국이 힘이 있기때문에 그들의 뜻대로, 정작 비난의 대상이 비난을 받지도 않으며 정작 대만이나 한국이 부담을 짓는 형태로 보여지는게 충격이었죠.

  20. No fan of China but BTS members hanging out with a wife beater doesn't get any videos on this channel?

    Didn't RM get removed from some important Korean positions? How come you won't report in it?

  21. This guys is actually anti-China sinophobe. Do you think JYP is stupid and doesn't know history? HAHAH Look at the comments flooding with anti-China sinophobes. You gotta love it. Maybe this guy should stop making videos about geopolitics.

  22. 이런식으로 이슈가 되다니. 어처구니가 없네. 쯔위는 그냥 jyp에 남거나 어니들처럼 한국 배우젘문 기획사로 가는게 마지요. 그렇지만 jyp만큼 쯔위를 지킬 수 있는 회사가 있을까?

  23. Wow so the shows producers gave her the Taiwanese flag? Those adults should've stood up for her. it's not fair they were attacking her when all she knows is Taiwan, she didn't grow up in China

  26. What a tough choice she either sell her soul and bow down to china and easily make 100 million in China or turn it down but then she will basically be blacklisted by China and lose a vast amount of income. Crazy sad choice

  27. 대만을 지켜주세요.중국의 사주를 받고 현 한국의 이재명 정부가 한국에서 대만을 지우려고 합니다

  29. This doesn't make the least sense otherwise Taiwan is Chinese territory everyone knows that the United States wants war to enrich the arms sector. If it were China doing the same with Puerto Rico or Hawaii, the story would be different, right?

  30. Chinese market is huge. Look at Yuqi she's the richest member in i-dle. If you are Taiwanese and you want to gain money as solo artist so there's only one way now 😬

  32. I think Tzuyu has enough soft power to cancel the CCP. All the comments you've read are all correct and commend you for reminding us of the heinous acts of that government. She can't get away from this evil, but she can make them irrelevant. She doesn't really need them. I doubt she'd sell her soul after what they've put her through.

  33. News came from Taiwanese media, namely mirror media. For people who do not know, Taiwan election is coming in a few months. This kind of news , which will likely incites anti Chinese sentiment are very good for the ruling DDP due to their pro independence stand. And mirror media is basically the propaganda arm of the DDP.

  34. China only care about facts and the fact is, there is only "one china"
    China won't even blink what the world says because for China, calling one of their body part "another person" is impossible.
    Would you call one of your finger not part of you and call it another person?
    I don't think so. Wake up sheeple. Stop saying thing for the sake of it and think.
    Auskor dude

  37. The entertainment companies should VET the variety shows and what they have planned for the group members instead of giving free reign that embarrasses these young people. Had JYP done that, none of this would have happened in the first place.

  39. Considering she just moved into a new apartment in Gangnam, it’s safe to assume she’s staying in Korea—especially since everyone promised to return as TWICE. Jeongyeon and Chaeyoung even explicitly stated this on Instagram. While they do have agencies for their solo projects, TWICE remains their top priority. Communist China is simply trying to annex Taiwan through hybrid warfare.

  41. Three items of interest:
    Satu> ¿Did you notice the auspicious dates? My Little Television was November 22, 2015 and Kaohsiung was November 22, 2025 – exactly 10 years!
    Dua> ¿Do you have a transcript of the statement published by the Beijing Taiwan Affairs Committee stating that 周(孫子)子瑜 Sally 쌜리 did nothing wrong?
    Tiga> Regarding deleting this video, I proffer the opinion that 周(孫子)子瑜 Sally 쌜리 is the only entity with authority to order the deletion of the SORRY video; the video comes down when 周(孫子)子瑜 Sally 쌜리 says take it down!

  43. poor tzuyu…

    both side literally bully her now..
    its make sense if Chinese side hate her..
    but now i see many Taiwanese same lah, see tzuyu like unpatriotic?

  44. As a Korean I hope she’s fine

    Those people who pressure on politics are stupid people

    Let her be leave her alone if she identifies herself as Taiwanese then so be it

    Anyway Taiwan is doing well these days gdp is expanding by a staggering 11%
    Of course I’m also proud of my nation (Korea) it’s also doing pretty well 3.5-4% as a developed nation that’s growth especially to push to the top 10 economies

    I hope no one bullies her if she have then I’m gonna punish them whoever tries to come to Korea and push their politics agenda against her.

    No one should pressure nor bully her for their own political views and agenda.

  45. tzuyu shouldnt go in chinese industery they already want to use her for propaganda and if she fell for that they might force her into more of their propaganda if tzuyu say one china stuff then taiwanese people might go against her and chinese industery can control her i hope she wouldnt be dragged into this political stuff
