On June 21, 2024, a netizen from mainland China discovered that Microsoft specifically listed Taipei as a time zone, suspecting it to be related to Taiwan independence. The sensitivity of cross-strait relations often leads to fragile nerves among some mainland Chinese netizens, where touching on sensitive topics may cause a breakdown in rationality. Recently, a 'pink fan' complained about Microsoft's time zone settings, noting that both mainland China and Taipei are in UTC+8, and considered it as 'Microsoft having suspicions of supporting Taiwan independence'. This led the netizen to question 'What does Microsoft mean?' in a post on Xiaohongshu, showcasing a screenshot showing Beijing, Chongqing, Hong Kong, and Urumqi under UTC+8 but with Taipei listed separately. The incident sparked various reactions from mainland netizens, with some suggesting a boycott if Microsoft supports Taiwan independence, while others sarcastically noted that patriotism is not achieved in such a manner.
