1. [+3,216, -40] I'd rather co-sign a loan for a random acquaintance than trust China

2. [+3,154, -12] How do they think they were helping us in the war when their guns were pointed at the South because they were aiding the North?

3. [+1,305, -12] I do think we need to start relying less on China and think harder when it comes to setting up factories and advancing our companies there

4. [+793, -9] China's the enemy of the world

5. [+202, -2] Why are they so mad? What did BTS even say wrong? Why wouldn't we be grateful towards the US and the UN for fighting with us against the North? China did not shed blood for us, they fought for the North. This is ridiculous. Are we really supposed to be saying to China "thank you for your sacrifice and for siding with the North"????

6. [+115, -1] Chinese fans aren't needed. BTS is a Korean group, not Chinese!!! Nothing they said was a put down against China at all. Should people all over the world ignore their own country's history and use China's history as the new standard? China really needs to stop with these petty actions. They seem to think that every land on earth belongs to them. If they want to start earning respect, they need to learn to respect the histories of other countries too.

7. [+49, -0] Terribly petty of them to even be putting such a political issue on a music group

8. [+49, -0] China chose to join a war that was almost over which resulted in more sacrifices by our own soldiers. The split was their fault.

9. [+28, -0] Just a quick fact check for everyone: BTS never even said the word China in any of their speeches

10. [+27, -0] I just hope that Big Hit never apologizes for something as ridiculous as this

11. [+23, -0] What's hilarious is that China's the one who blocked Hallyu saying that Hallyu is cheap culture ㅋㅋㅋ but now they're talking as if they fed and raised BTS all on their own ㅋㅋ

12. [+21, -0] We have never begged China to be fans of BTS. Do whatever you guys want but please stop caring about BTS. Their music is not to be enjoyed by you~
