Chinese Netizens Slam Bobby Au-Yeung For Celebrating Christmas; He Says He Has “A Clear Conscience”
Are Chinese netizens trying to cancel Christmas?
Over the past week or so, it was extremely common to see cheery, often glittery social media posts wishing everyone a Merry Christmas. After all, ‘twas the season to be jolly, right?
While not everyone is expected to observe the occasion, some — and by “some” we mean thousands of enraged Chinese netizens — were definitely not in a jolly mood when they saw a festive clip that Hongkong actor Bobby Au-Yeung posted on Douyin.
In the video, the 61-year-old dons a Santa hat in front of a lit-up Christmas tree while singing holiday songs and waving presents around.
You’d think it’d be considered a wholesome and completely unproblematic video by everyone… but that was unfortunately not the case.
