That's what amazes me. She only mentioned that her third biggest viewership was in Taiwan, and that was somehow enough to launch CCP bootlickers into a frenzy and go out of their way to destroy her livlihood and anyone associated with her. Is even mentioning that people live in Taiwan somehow a trigger? Makes no sense.
That racist Vtuber though, wow. It's not even funny, it's just blatant.
I'm reluctant to say anything about this subject, since last time I said that these CCP antis were having the opposite effect and bringing shame onto China I got banned for racism for not saying "not all Chinese people" loudly enough, but whatever.
"China" used to be the Republic of China. Immediately after WW2, China had a communist revolution, and the People's Republic of China pushed the Republic of China into retreat, all the way back to the island of Taiwan. The PRC tried to finish off the ROC, but Taiwan is a natural fortress, so the PRC could shoot at them for days/weeks/months, and the ROC would simply take cover, wait for the shooting to stop, then come out and pick up all the free scrap lead (PRC bullets literally fed Taiwan's early manufacturing industry, which is amazing to think about). Eventually the PRC gave up on their assault and declared themselves the winners of the war, while the ROC thumbed their noses at them from their island fortress. The PRC claims to be the leaders of China based on the old borders of China (the ones that were once drawn by the ROC), even though the PRC has never set foot on the island of Taiwan, and there are people living there who strongly disagree with that claim.
That was 70 years ago. The people who lived in those times and fought in that war are mostly dead. And the two countries have both become something else entirely. Taiwan no longer claims to be the rightful government of China in exile. It's just a footnote in their history, like Australia's history as a former British prison colony. While China became a global superpower, and now they're drunk on power. The modern China could easily wipe Taiwan off the map, and the only thing stopping them is America. That pisses China off, because there is no religion in modern China but the CCP, and Taiwan proves that China's god can bleed. Taiwan beat the PRC in a fight once before (by surviving), and Taiwan's continued existence shows that China is afraid of war with America. China's inflated pride (fed by the CCP's total control over China's education system for the past 70 years) cannot handle these insults.
China's official position on Taiwan is that they're being "generous" and giving Taiwan time to surrender and accept Chinese rule, before China loses their patience and wipes the island off the map, but everyone in China knows that's just a lie and in actuality they're being disrespected, while everyone in Taiwan has seen how well "rejoining China" has worked out for Hong Kong, so they don't wanna do that (although currently a minority of people think it's better than getting killed by China).
So yeah, Taiwan is incredibly triggering within China.
And Coco unintentionally tapped into the same thing. She offended them by noting that water is wet and forgot to coddle them by not buying into their particular delusion, so they decided to attack her, and every day that she's still standing there is proof that they're not even strong enough to take down one single helpless girl. They can't handle losing. Giving them their "victory" might have been Coco's only solution, because the alternative would be changing the mind of China, and that's so much bigger than Coco. It's bigger than Cover, it's bigger than America, it's bigger than the entire UN.
