I believe users asking for upvotes on official artist threads is a violation of the rules. This user has been spamming on Official threads such as the SNSD, JESSICA, GFRIEND threads and now the BTS Thread asking for upvotes Official Artist threads are not used for talking about neg stalking and certainly not for asking users to upvote themselves. This user deserves a ban imo.

[UPDATED] The End of Kpop is near. China BANS korean Entertainment!!

Click here to view the Tweet http://www.reuters.com/article/us-southkorea-china-culture-idUSKBN16O0I0 Cai Yufang, 21, is a big fan of Korean television dramas like "Shopping King Louie", a show about a profligate chaebol heir who loses his memory and learns the value of love and labor from a sweet, simple country girl. The Shanghai student is one of millions of young Chinese consumers with a huge appetite for South Korean pop culture whose regular viewing habits have been disrupted by growing political tensions between the countries. The mainland chill on Korean content that follows Seoul's decision to deploy a missile defense system, however, is driving Chinese fans to get their "K-culture" fixes on peer-to-peer platforms instead of mainstream sites such as Youku, Tencent and iQiyi where some content has been taken down. The three sites did not respond to requests for comment. "Korean dramas, and especially variety shows, are no longer being updated, so I can't watch any more. There are no links – it's a bit annoying, really," said Cai. "For a lot of young Chinese who like Korean culture, it's a real shame." Cai added that eager viewers were already finding alternative channels. She has started following a group on a Chinese messaging service called "Watch drama together" that provides links to shows on file sharing platforms like Baidu Cloud. The blackout reflects a wider cultural freeze, with South Korean singers and actors blocked, dozens of Korean-focused blogs suspended, tourism bans and product boycotts. South Korea's soft power, especially its dramas and music, is a hot commodity. Production values are generally smarter than those of other Asian markets and its snazzy fashion, hyper-stylized singers and well-choreographed dances have captivated audiences in the region since late 1990s. China is South Korea's second-largest overseas market for dramas, songs and other media content. The fluid exchange of entertainment products has played a big role in strong, friendly ties between the two trade partners. But for South Korea stars, recent tensions have hit music concerts to lucrative advertising gigs in China. A worker removes part of a sign that consists of the Chinese characters that collectively read South Korea, at a shop in Shanghai, China March 15, 2017. REUTERS/Aly Song S.M. Entertainment, a music, talent and event promoter that houses popular Korean boy-bands EXO and SHINee, is among scores of firms that say their China businesses are affected following Seoul's decision to deploy a U.S. missile defense system within its borders to deter North Korea. "Events are being canceled and it's impacting our business as we expected big revenue generation," said a person familiar with the company's operations who did not want to be named due to sensitivity of the subject. "This year, our signed singers have no TV performances scheduled in China. They can't do any concerts even if they want to, because approvals will not be issued." An S.M. Entertainment spokesperson was not immediately available for comment. A survey by Seoul's culture ministry of 160 local media and entertainment firms that have business ties with China showed 58 respondents reported direct business impacts such as cancellations of contracts, tours or joint production, as well as delays in approvals since tensions began last year. The diplomatic row further heightened this month after Seoul accelerated plans to set up the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense anti-missile system. South Korea argues THAAD is for defense against North Korea, but China fears its powerful radar can reach into its territory. Moon Jae-in, the South Korean politician expected to become its next president, called on China on Tuesday to stop economic retaliation against South Korean firms over deployment of the THAAD system. TESTING TIES Despite China's affection for Korean culture, geopolitical sentiment is taking an economic toll on the market for its products. "We ran away fast from South Korean talent for Chinese ads when the tensions began. We're a bit conservative and cautious," said the China head of a major U.S. consumer goods business. He asked not to be named because of the sensitivity of the topic. South Korean stars have often been used in Chinese adverts from cars to ice cream, cosmetics and smartphones. -

The Chinese are targeting all Koreans because of the US missile system (THAAD), as they claim it poses a national security risk of their country. Since some SM artists endorses LOTTE, a company which fully supports the deployment of THAAD even providing their golf course for the THAAD missile system, the Chinese will target SM idols more harshly. Taeyeon posted an INSTA update of a LOTTE candy and it blew up on Weibo with CNETZ bashing her. The same with Siwon who liked a LOTTE pic on insta was criticized by the Chinese today. Chinese fans of SM artists are willing to unstan these groups over politics and socialism. There is no way NCT China unit can debut over there. No idol that is not Chinese can promote in China at this point and SM will suffer the worst. -

Is China retaliating against Lotte missile deal? By Simon Atkinson Asia Business Reporter China is a crucial market for many South Korean companies, and the food and retail giant Lotte is no exception. The fifth biggest firm in South Korea gets an estimated 30% of its sales from China, and employs about 20,000 people there. But in the past week, several of its businesses have faced a backlash from hackers, customers and Chinese partners. On Monday, Lotte said that more than 10 of its department stores across the country had been closed down suddenly. So what's going on? Background: Missiles and a golf course At the end of February, Lotte finally agreed to provide land it owned in South Korea - which includes part of a golf course - so the US could build its controversial Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) missile defence system. With the ability to shoot down ballistic missiles, the US says it is an important line of defence against North Korea's missile development programme. But over the past few months, Beijing has been lobbying heavily against it - saying the system's powerful radars are capable of monitoring Chinese territory. It disputes the argument that it will bring more stability to the region, saying it should not be allowed to go ahead. What has happened? As well as its shops and food businesses, Lotte also has hotels and cinemas in China. But since signing the deal last week Lotte, has reported various operations in China have been disrupted. On Monday, photos and videos were circulating of protests outside Lotte stores. "South Korea's Lotte has declared war on China. Lotte supports THAAD. Get the hell out of China" said one banner. While confirming the department store closures, Lotte has given no explanation. Other incidents include: Lotte Duty Free, the world's biggest duty free company which makes 70% of its sales to Chinese customers, said its website had been taken offline by a cyber attack. It is now up and running again. Cosmetics retailer Jumei Youpin said it had "completely scrubbed the name of Lotte from our website". It added: "We'd rather die than carry its goods in future". Chinese e-commerce site JD.com - which serves as a platform for retailers to sell online - temporarily closed the Lotte shopping site. Technical issues were blamed. Snack maker Weilong said it was pulling its products from all Lotte stores, saying it would "no longer cooperate" with the South Korean firm. Prior to the missile deal being signed, Lotte had reported its businesses being put under extra scrutiny from tax authorities. And in February, a multi-billion dollar property project in China's north-east was halted after a fire inspection. Is Lotte being paranoid? Beijing certainly has not admitted any economic retaliation and Lotte has been restructuring loss-making China businesses. But China's state-run news agency Xinhua has described Lotte's decision to provide the land as "opening a Pandora's box in North East Asia." Separately, it has written that "the decision could turn into a nightmare for Lotte, which depends heavily on Chinese tourists to South Korea for revenue from duty free stores". Meanwhile Lotte itself has not said directly that any of the incidents were linked to the missile project controversy. But South Korea's trade minister Joo Hyung-hwan, who has recently had an invitation to an annual forum withdrawn, has expressed "deep concerns over a series of actions in China". "We will act accordingly to international law against any actions that violate policies of the World Trade Organization or the free trade agreement between South Korea and China," he said. Is it only Lotte that's affected? There are reports of a broader backlash against South Korean products and industries from China. China's national tourism administration has told travel agencies to stop selling group packages in South Korea, according to South Korean news agency Yonhap. And Yonhap also reports that some Chinese streaming platforms have removed Korean material from their sites - a blow to viewers of the dramas which are increasingly popular. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-39176388 -

China blocks access to streaming services of S. Korean pop culture amid THAAD row BEIJING, Feb. 26 (Yonhap) -- China has blocked access to newly updated clips of South Korean music and dramas on the country's online video sharing platforms, sources said Sunday, in an apparent bid to retaliate against Seoul's move to deploy an advanced U.S. missile defense system. The move followed China's decision to prevent South Korean pop stars from appearing on Chinese entertainment programs since October as South Korea decided in July last year to station the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system on its soil. A website uploading South Korean dramas said on its social media account on Weibo that it will stop updating video clips of South Korean entertainment programs for the time being. "Everybody should be aware of the reason for this," it said, hinting at China's toughened restriction on Korean pop culture, widely known as "hallyu." China has strongly opposed Seoul and Washington's decision to deploy a THAAD battery in South Korea to counter North Korea's nuclear and missile threats. Beijing said the move will hamper its security interests. "China has made regional satellite TV broadcasters suspend the airing of South Korean TV programs and give no permission for Korean stars to appear on Chinese TV shows," an industry official said. "Blocking access to streaming services is feared to deal a blow to (the Korean industry)." Despite a row over THAAD, South Korean TV programs enjoyed huge popularity on Chinese online video sharing platforms. The South Korean romantic drama "Uncontrollably Fond" chalked up more than 4.1 billion views on China's largest online video portal Youku as of end-2016, according to a South Korean culture promotion agency. The tally is close to the 4.4 billion view count of "Descendants of the Sun" aired via iQIYI, also an online video service.But if China keeps blocking updates of South Korean TV programs on its online video sharing platforms, it may affect the popularity of the South Korean pop culture in China, industry watchers said. source : http://english.yonha...6002700315.html RIP Hallyu -

...I highly suggest Sica fans to pick up a history book before embarrassing yourselves even further 'Nearly 20 years after China resumed sovereignty over the former British colony of Hong Kong, the Chinese Communist Party that rules the rest of the country is still officially non-existent here. ... After the handover in 1997, the Communist Party in Hong Kong has remained underground.' '"One country, two systems" is a constitutional principle formulated by Deng Xiaoping, the Paramount Leader of the People's Republic of China (PRC), for the reunification of China during the early 1980s. He suggested that there would be only one China, but distinct Chinese regions such as Hong Kong and Macau could retain their own capitalist economic and political systems, while the rest of China uses the socialist system.' No shit Koreans could enter Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan. -

On wiki her movie My Other Home was supposed to be released last year. No Chinese even heard of this project nor that 2 Bellman 3 movie.
