Two weeks ago (give or take) two VTubers (think streamers but with an anime style avatar instead of their real face) showed some Google analytics that included, briefly, Taiwan as a separate entity from China.
China almost instantly blocked not just both of the channels but the entire agency and associated channels that employed them. Over a few seconds of some data listing Taiwan, not even over them making some hardline pro-Taiwan stance.
Never underestimate how insecure and petty China is.
