Here’s a rewritten version of the article, preserving all verifiable facts while aiming for 100% uniqueness:
A malaysian hip-hop artist, known for his satirical song “Fragile” released in 2021, has faced a ban in China. The track reportedly contained sharp critiques of Chinese President Xi Jinping and sensitive topics concerning China, including Taiwan‘s political standing and the country’s censorship policies.
Following this, Alan Tam, the lead singer of the Hong Kong pop group The Wynners, posted a photograph of himself on the Chinese social media platform Weibo on July 20th, accompanied by a statement. In Chinese, Tam declared, “As a Chinese citizen, I have demonstrated patriotism through tangible actions and have consistently defended the nation’s dignity and sentiments.” He further explained that a recent photo taken with an individual at an event in Genting, Malaysia, had inadvertently caused a misunderstanding.
Tam clarified that the interaction was a matter of politeness during a public event, and he was unaware of the other person’s background or previous statements and actions.Without explicitly naming the artist, Tam added, “Had I known his stance earlier, I would never have engaged with him.This incident was an unintentional error and dose not signify my endorsement of his views.”
Similarly, Eric Tsang, the host of the long-running Hong Kong variety show “Super Trio” (which has aired from 1995 to the present), shared a comparable statement on Weibo the following day, July 21st. Tsang reiterated his profound apologies to all concerned.
In response to the backlash, the artist in question has removed the photographs featuring Tam and Tsang from his social media accounts. In a statement previously posted on Facebook, which has since been deleted, the artist wrote in Chinese, “To safeguard the peace and stability of the ‘motherland’ and ensure the safety of our comrades in Hong Kong within the Greater Bay Area, we have taken down the previous post and accompanying photos.”
