Recently, social media influencer 'Potter King' disclosed that starting from late July, Taiwanese influencers will be traveling to China to film videos under the guise of cross-strait youth cultural exchange, with all expenses covered by the hosting organization. This led to suspicions regarding Taiwanese influencers traveling to China, with millions-followed YouTuber Fish Ball being caught in the controversy. Fish Ball responded by clarifying on Threads that despite his Chengdu travel video released two months prior, it was not sponsored, and he had to pay extra for flight changes. Fish Ball defended his video as a personal vlog intended to document his life, and expressed frustrations at being wrongly accused. The controversy highlights concerns of cultural and political influences in online content production.
