Taiwan's men's volleyball team played against China in its first match at the Aikoya Asian Games. Spectators were stopped by staff from holding Taiwanese flags, sparking discussion among Japanese netizens

The 20th Aiko Nagoya Asian Games is in full swing. On the 27th, the Taiwanese men's volleyball team lost to the last silver medalist China team in 5 games in the first group match. A Japanese netizen posted on Threads that an audience member took out a small Taiwanese flag at the scene, but was stopped by a staff member suspected of being Chinese. After the video was exposed, it sparked discussions. Some Japanese netizens criticized: "Why does Japan favor China?" Another Japanese netizen said: "It's ridiculous! As a resident of Aichi Prefecture, I feel sorry for the Taiwanese."

A Japanese netizen posted a video on Threads yesterday. In the video, a male audience member can be seen sitting on the sidelines with a small flag of the Republic of China on his lap. A male staff member appears behind him and talks to him seriously. It can be seen that the staff member had a stern look on his face. He first shook his head, and then pointed his finger at the man, the national flag, and the outside of the stadium. It seemed that he was threatening to expel him from the field. The man finally nodded and put away the flag. When the staff member left him, he turned back and looked at the man fiercely twice.

The Japanese netizen who posted the article said that the spectator tried to cheer for Taiwan with the national flag, but was unexpectedly stopped by a staff member who looked like a Chinese. He shouted: "Taiwan is Taiwan, Taiwan is not part of China."

The Japanese netizen posted versions in 3 different languages on Threads, with a total of more than 2 million views and more than 2,000 comments. In addition to some netizens and Little Pink making sarcastic remarks, a large number of Japanese netizens also left messages saying: "Why hire Chinese as employees?", "The attitude of the staff is really bad", and "Oppose any insult to Taiwan." , "Japan is so shameful", "Is this true? Surprising", "I am a Japanese and I am sorry for this. This event is completely hosted by China, and such a competition should be cancelled", "It's so disgusting, Nagoya is so disgusting", "Why would this happen in Japan", "The people who support Taiwan are so pitiful, this is happening in Japan."
