During the Asian Games men's volleyball team's war with China, Taiwanese fans holding the national flag were scolded by Chinese staff to "get out"

In the men's volleyball team event of the 20th Aikoya Asian Games, the Taiwanese team played against the Chinese team in the first group match on the 27th. An audience member took out a small national flag, but was stopped by a Chinese staff member. Japanese political commentator Tadao Yuasa recently shared the video on Threads, sparking online discussion. He posted again yesterday, paraphrasing the client's statement. The client accused the staff member of asking him to put away the flag "or get out" and said "there is no reason".

Tadao Yuasa posted a video on Threads. A male spectator sitting on the sidelines had a small flag of the Republic of China on his lap. Behind him, there was a male staff member talking to him with a stern expression. The staff member first shook his head, and then gestured with his fingers to the man, the flag, and the outside of the stadium, seemingly 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 him fiercely twice.

After the video was exposed, it attracted more than 2 million views, and many netizens in Taiwan and Japan left messages to express their dissatisfaction. Tadao Yuasa once again issued an article yesterday to obtain an explanation from the person involved. According to the picture he attached, the person involved pointed out that during the football match that day, he took out the blue sky and white sun and the red flag on the ground to cheer for Taiwan. A Chinese-speaking staff member suddenly came up to him with a very bad attitude and said: "Put the flag away, or get out." When he asked "Why"? The opponent actually said "there is no reason". In order to continue watching the game and cheering, he had no choice but to put the flag away.

The person involved also shared that later on, a player’s mother specially brought the flag and banner of the Chinese Olympic Games to him, and the Taiwanese fans at the scene also shouted "TEAM TAIWAN" together, which was quite touching. Finally, he shouted: "Taiwanese people are not alone! Let's unite together!"

After the post was published, it once again attracted more than one million views. Japanese netizens said: "Why on earth does Aichi Prefecture do such a thing? This is Japan, not China!", "Why are Chinese people in charge of events held in Japan", and "The faces of these Chinese people are so disgusting."

Some Japanese netizens said that they had called the customer service of the conference to ask "whether waving the Taiwan flag to cheer for the Taiwan team is prohibited." The conference responded that employees made their own judgments and actions, and the committee did not prohibit them. If they were told not to wave the Taiwan flag to cheer, they could clearly refuse. The conference also revealed that it has received many similar inquiries and protest calls, and this has become an internal issue. However, this statement has not yet been confirmed.
