The online influencer A Ya, who is married to a Chinese person, was initially praised by Chinese netizens for making pro-China videos. However, after being interviewed by the immigration department, her attitude changed, and she stated that returning to China was akin to entering a deep abyss, which angered netizens in mainland China. Initially, some mainland media supported her, but A Ya's reversal changed the public sentiment dramatically. Mainland netizens criticized her for being inconsistent in her statements, expressing disappointment, and some fans even waited for her to return home, only to learn that she hoped to stay in Taiwan, leading to emotional distress. A Ya is currently facing a request from the Ministry of the Interior to leave the country and is under pressure both internally and externally.
The Chinese spouse internet celebrity Aiya originally received praise from mainland Chinese netizens for shooting pro-China videos, even being called a goddess. However, following her change in attitude after an interview with the immigration agency, she began to express that returning to mainland China would push her into a "bottomless abyss," which mainland netizens could not accept, leading to widespread backlash.
Some mainland internet celebrities commented: "Their performance fully shows how petty the local people are, letting people around the world see how they suppress dissenting voices." Aiya faced the revocation of her residence permit by the immigration agency for making pro-China statements on social media. Initially, many mainland netizens expressed support for her, and even official media spoke up for her.
A news anchor mentioned: "Taiwan is China's Taiwan, what's wrong with that? Under the 'green terror,' where is the Democratic Progressive Party leading Taiwan?" Initially, official statements supported her, believing that Aiya's patriotic actions were not wrong, but as the discourse shifted, public opinion on the mainland clearly reversed.
Aiya stated: "Pushing me and my family towards such an abyss from which we can never return." Why did the beloved homeland she referred to become synonymous with an irretrievable abyss? Furthermore, after her interview with the immigration agency, she stated that the video was made for mainland viewers, which made many mainland netizens uncomfortable, prompting them to demand explanations from her.
Mainland netizens questioned: "To stay here, how could she suddenly say it was made for us? What does this mean? Is she hoping to once again leverage Taiwanese people's sympathy? The problem is, she always wavers back and forth, like a weather vane." Some mainland fans even went to Aiya's hometown in Hunan before dawn, waiting for 4.5 hours in anticipation of her return, only to hear the news that Aiya wants to stay in Taiwan, which led to a breakdown in emotions.
Mainland netizens expressed their feelings: "Which of your words is the truth? I don't know what your purpose is, it keeps changing. I hope you can sing a song to bring you back, come back soon!" Aiya's inconsistent stance and attitude have not only led the Ministry of the Interior to request her departure, but also disappointed mainland netizens, putting her in a difficult position as speaking too much has caused her to lose favor with both sides.
