Recently, some netizens reported that a memory stick product of the American computer hardware and peripheral company "Corsair of the United States" appeared on the instructions to list Taiwan Province of China as a "country of production".
In the early morning of January 8, the brand's official Weibo @CORSAIR Pirate Ship China issued an apology statement saying that it had removed the relevant products involved, and ordered relevant personnel to investigate and rectify the existing products, and there would be no more inconsistencies with objective facts.
Founded in 1994, the company is an American computer hardware and peripherals company based in Fremont, California, whose products include PC components and peripheral equipment, streaming media equipment and smart ambient lighting equipment. The brand logo is a row of sails, presumably from the sailing ships that served as a symbol of piracy in the 16th and 19th centuries, hence the Chinese name "American Pirate Ship".
On the 7th, comrade @Zhou Xiaoping, a well-known network writer and commentator, posted on his personal Weibo that the instruction manual of a memory stick product of the US corsair listed Taiwan Province as a "production country", which was a mistake to refer to Taiwan Province as an "independent country".
As can be seen from the pictures released by netizens, the manufacturer of this product is from New Taipei City, Taiwan. According to Taiwan media reports, Taiwan is the largest stronghold of CORSAIR in the world, with offices in Taipei and Taoyuan, with more than 660 employees, covering a complete industrial value chain such as technology research and development, manufacturing, marketing business, operation management and customer service.

@ Comrade Zhou Xiaoping also revealed that after finding the abnormality, he complained to the brand's customer service on the e-commerce platform, and the other party explained that the omission may have been caused by the lack of attention when printing before, and there is no modification plan for the time being, and the complaint will be fed back to the manufacturer to be corrected.
For the response of customer service, Comrade @Zhou Xiaoping was not satisfied, so he made the relevant situation public on his personal Weibo, which immediately aroused a lot of attention.
In the early morning of the 8th, the official Weibo @CORSAIR of the brand involved in the pirate ship China came forward to speak out, saying that some of the product packaging reported by consumers had printing errors in the production country/region, and the problem was true after investigation. The apology statement said that the relevant products involved had been removed from the shelves, and at the same time ordered the relevant personnel to investigate and rectify the existing products, and there was no longer any discrepancy with the objective facts.
However, this statement was not published on the brand's major overseas social platforms, official websites, etc.

Coincidentally, recently the well-known Japanese convenience store chain brand "7-11" domestic affiliates have also been punished by relevant departments for omitting the Diaoyu Islands on the website map and labeling Taiwan as an "independent country".
Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said in response to questions at a regular press conference on January 7: "I am not aware of the situation you mentioned. I would like to reiterate that Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory and that the one-China principle is the universally recognized norm governing international relations and the universal consensus of the international community. ”
