Taiwanese Streamer Angers Chinese Viewer by Mentioning Sensitive Topics

Taiwanese streamer Ray, known as the "strongest high school student," provoked a strong reaction from a mainland Chinese individual during a recent live stream. While interacting with viewers, Ray connected with someone from Hebei province and, pretending to be from Shanghai, engaged in conversation.

During the exchange, Ray deliberately brought up topics known to be politically sensitive in China. He mentioned his fondness for "Winnie the Pooh," a character that has been subject to censorship due to comparisons with Chinese President Xi Jinping. He then directly asked his connection, "Do you know about June Fourth?" referring to the 1989 Tiananmen Square crackdown.

The mention of these topics immediately changed the demeanor of the Chinese individual, who reportedly became enraged and began using expletives. Online viewers observing the stream reacted with comments mocking the individual's apparent anger and sensitivity, with some suggesting their "glass heart" was shattered.

Ray, who gained popularity through his streaming career in the United States, was visiting Taiwan and sharing his experiences with friends. He had previously expressed gratitude for the welcome he received in Taiwan.
