Everyone talks about Hansanabi, which is good, but I just realised that Pokimane and a bunch of other well-known livestreamers also travelled to China recently too. And it is interesting to note that most of these people are hardcore weeboos just years before (even their Chinese American influencer friends were not even proud of their Chinese roots before but are now very enthusiastic and now act as their "Chinese guides" lmao. *Except for China Mac of course, that guy was always a true Chinese patriot and will always have my upmost respect). This sudden and complete shift in both China's hard power and soft power (which comes with free advertisement) is very interesting to see, I mean even Hasanabi's own YouTube usernames are a play on Japanese words, but now people are getting more and more exposed to the truth, which is inevitable. IMO this significant shift will happen either way, but it really got mainstream thanks to Ishowspeed.
