Chinese fans outraged at Lady Gaga addressed her "wrongdoings" that included her support of a Hong Kong separatist, associating with the Dalai Lama, and promoting "Taiwan independence". The singer's Chinese fans have vowed to boycott the controversial star, citing "national interest prevails all."

Netizen's anger was sparked after it was revealed the singer was following a Hong Kong separatist on Instagram. A screenshot that went viral revealed Lady Gaga was following @EmilyWaiYi on the Facebook-owned photo-sharing platform.

The account featured slogans echoing Hong Kong rioters, but only had 43 followers including Lady Gaga.

Global Times is the Communist Party’s English-language mouthpiece.

Well, it looks like Lady Gaga is on the right side of this issue. Good for her.

I’m surprised they reported it. I thought CCP would want Chinese netizens to dial down this international call-out culture after the NBA incident.

Doesn’t she know those are patriotic pro-American people in HK who support Trump ? She’ll have to backtrack from her “unwoke” position.

Everyone in China has to say this or their “social credit score” will drop and they won’t be able to keep their job or take a vacation.

What is that poster?

I see China, and the Chinese characters. But then there is the inner section with Japanese characteristics.

china has become a technological Orwellian nightmare.

One which the globalist/deep-state complex is keen to inflict on the rest of the world.

This is a play on fragile stickers you may have seen on fragile packages. It implies that Chinese netizens are like fragile little snowflake. They get easily offended and heartbroken by anything that puts China in a negative light.

Most Chinese netizens can’t read English.

The Chinese citizens secretly support the people of Honk Kong, but they can’t publicly state so, because the government of China would kill them. So they have to denounce HK if they want to live.

In China, the national interest means iron-fisted communism.
