Another day, another China cancellation. First Mbappé, now Hello Kitty. And the worst part is, both La Liga and Sanrio completely folded. The target this time was a Japanese spy thriller TV show. Chinese state media claimed its torture scenes mirrored what Japanese troops did to Chinese fighters in WWII, and used it to whip up the usual frenzy about Japanese atrocities. Sanrio (Hello Kitty’s company) responded by killing its merch and marketing collab with the drama. What’s insane is the double standard. China pumps out endless anti-Japan movies and shows specifically to breed hyper-nationalism among its youth, but you don’t see Japan weaponizing its culture against China the same way. Yet China managed to get a beloved JAPANESE 🇯🇵 cartoon icon to yeet itself from a JAPANESE show made for a JAPANESE audience. It's just as infuriating as La Liga promising to develop an “awareness and communications protocol” to re-educate its league players on Chinese sensitivities. This is pure submission to an insecure foreign power. STOP BEING CUCKS and just exit the Chinese market ffs
