The Enemy of the World’s Enemy｜[Year-End Summary] Top 100 China-Insulting Figures of 2022

001 Dong Xuelian

Famous virtual anchor (Vtuber), who once worked under the identity of Japanese Vtuber Nemu Sakuma. As a result, some Chinese fans exposed her real identity as a Chinese person. Under emotional distress, she made “inappropriate and insulting” remarks on Twitter, saying, “I feel uncomfortable for the first time because I speak Chinese.” Because of this kind of black history, even after reincarnating as the Chinese Vtuber Dong Xuelian, she has always been attacked by black fans as a “rare person.” On the evening of February 5, 2022, when Dong Xuelian was live-streaming the game “Invisible Guardian” on bilibili, she made “inappropriate remarks” due to a lack of historical knowledge, saying, “What is the Wang Puppet Government? Bad? Is the Military Command, is it the Communist Party?” This led to the temporary ban of her live-streaming room.

002 Chen Wei (Nathan Chen)

American Chinese male figure skater, who was hostile to many Chinese Yuzuru Hanyu fans because his competition results surpassed Yuzuru Hanyu, who was in the late stage of his career. He used the music of the banned film “Mao’s Last Dancer” as his competition music at the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics. Because this film tells the story of Li Cunxin, a Chinese ballet dancer who “defected” to the United States, Chen Wei’s music selection was questioned by Chinese netizens as deliberately insulting China. In 2021, Chen Wei agreed with the “inappropriate remarks about China” made by American figure skater Evan Bates. Therefore, when Chen Wei won the gold medal in the men’s singles skating event at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, he was called a “banana man” by some netizens on Chinese social media.

003 Zhou Zhifang (Vincent Zhou)

American Chinese male figure skater, who was regarded as an insulting China element like Chen Wei by Chinese netizens because he agreed with Chen Wei’s views during an interview with Chen Wei in 2019. ​​​​

004 Liu Meixian (Alysa Liu)

American Chinese female figure skater. Because her father, Arthur Liu, is a Chinese who went to the United States in the late 1980s to obtain political asylum, she was also identified by Chinese netizens as having a bad family background and being full of vices. She herself also published “inappropriate remarks about China” in support of her father on ins. However, some netizens also found that she was actually an old acquaintance with the well-known patriotic athlete Gu Ailing, and the two were mutually followed and interacted on ins.

In addition to the above three figure skaters, during the Winter Olympics, patriotic netizens from China and South Korea also launched a fierce cross-border war of words over issues such as whether the Korean ethnic costumes in China belong to “cultural plunder” of South Korea and whether short-track speed skaters violated the rules.

RM, a member of the South Korean idol group BTS, who was criticized for insulting China for commemorating the US military, this time, because he forwarded a video of the competition between Chinese and South Korean short-track speed skaters on his personal ins and added the ???????????? emoji, was considered by some Chinese netizens to be sarcastically mocking the Chinese athletes for “violating the rules,” and as a result, he was attacked.

Another BTS member, SUGA, also uploaded a Hanbok costume in the MV on his personal ins account during the cusp of the online war of words between China and South Korea, and was regarded by some Chinese netizens as deliberately provoking.

005 Nils van der Poel

A famous private research-oriented comprehensive university in the United States. During the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, some Chinese students found that the school had posted multiple anti-China posters created by the painter Ba, and therefore complained to the school on the grounds of racial discrimination. The school’s president, Leiton, initially intended to remove these posters, but after this incident triggered public opinion controversy, he changed his tone and said that these posters did not involve racial discrimination, but a kind of “political statement,” and George Washington University supported this kind of artistic expression that might offend some people.

007 Oreo

A South Korean food company. During the “Russo-Ukrainian conflict” in 2022, there were reports that Oreo deliberately raised prices for China and Russia. Some people also revealed that Oreo had a dual standard for ingredients, and the raw materials used in the production process in South Korea and China were different. These news triggered strong resistance from Chinese netizens to Oreo. On March 1, 2022, Oreo officially responded on Weibo, saying that the price increase was decided in September last year, and the ingredients of Oreo products were also consistent worldwide, but some inaccurate translations led to Chinese netizens being misled. However, this statement was typed out with a mobile phone memo, so it was considered by some Chinese netizens to be not formal enough. Therefore, Oreo issued a formal apology statement on March 2, but it still failed to satisfy the angry netizens.

008 Wang Jixian
