Wu Qilong · Full chronicle and history

During the National Day holiday, Taiwanese artist Nicky Wu recorded a greeting video at Tiananmen Square holding a five-star red flag and referred to Taiwan as "Taiwan Province" on Weibo, sparking criticism from Taiwanese public opinion. His scheduled appearance as a ceremonial first-pitch guest for a professional baseball team was subsequently cancelled. Nicky Wu responded on Douyin, stating, "This is my stance even if I don't make money."

Hu Xijin, former editor-in-chief of Global Times, commented side by side on Wu Qilong's statement and Kevin Tsai's support for Puma Shen, saying that Kevin Tsai's choice is suicide in the Chinese market and a "phoenix nirvana" in Taiwan, and lamenting that this is the crossroads of the times, and also the crossroads for Taiwanese entertainers.

At 20:25 on October 7, the topic "Numerous Taiwan artists clearly state the one-China position" ranked 11th on Weibo's overall chart. State media outlet Southern Daily posted a compilation video, using Wu Qilong's "even if it doesn't make money, this is still my position" as a hook, and listed records of artists such as Angela Zhang and Ouyang Nana reposting CCTV's "Taiwan will surely return" poster; the Wenling City Media Convergence Center said that identifying with one China "is not a multiple-choice question, but a compulsory one."

After Wu Qilong's waving of the five-star flag sparked heated discussion and protests among fans, the Fubon team announced the cancellation of the first pitch ceremony originally scheduled for October 4 at Xinzhuang Baseball Stadium.

Taiwanese entertainer Wu Qilong filmed and posted a video at Tiananmen Square, holding high the five-star red flag and congratulating the Chinese Communist Party on its National Day.

The son of Nicky Wu and Liu Shishi was born in a Taipei hospital during the 2019 anti-extradition bill movement, and holds a Republic of China passport and household registration.
