On the first day of the new year, a 7.6-magnitude earthquake struck the Noto Peninsula in Japan.
On the same day, Hainan TV host Xiao Chenghao released a video through his personal account:
Retribution is coming: a 7.4 magnitude earthquake struck Japan!
Xiao Chenghao said in the video:
"Japan has suffered such a big natural disaster on the first day of the new year, and I am afraid that in 2024, the whole of Japan will be shrouded in a gloomy dark cloud, so there are some things that should be done less, and nuclear sewage should not be discharged into the sea. ”
The video sparked heated discussions among netizens.
On January 2, Hainan Radio and Television Station issued a statement:
In response to the inappropriate remarks made by our host Xiao Chenghao on his personal media account, our station is organizing a verification, and in the meantime, his work will be suspended.
This decision of Hainan Radio and Television Station has aroused the dissatisfaction of many netizens, who have accused them of improper handling.
thinks that Xiao Chenghao just said what every patriotic person wants to say.
There is also support for the decision to suspend Xiao Chenghao, represented by Hu Xijin, former editor-in-chief of the Global Times.
Commenting on the incident, he said:
Xiao Chenghao, as the host of the official TV station and a public figure, his remarks do not match his identity, which will damage the image of Hainan Radio and Television Station, and he lacks due awareness and control.
Hu Xijin's remarks only made public opinion more noisy.
On August 25, 2023, a magnitude 5.8 earthquake struck the east coast of Japan, and Hu Xijin posted:
At this time, it is not too much to scold Japan for "being punished by God".
Netizens ridiculed Hu Xijin: Be lenient with yourself and treat others strictly.
On January 3, Hu Xijin issued an article explaining:
Because there were no casualties reported in that earthquake, the context of the non-harmless earthquake at that point in time provided the reason why it could be said that it could be said that way.
The casualties and losses caused by the 7.4 magnitude earthquake that struck Japan on January 1 were completely predictable, and the context did not allow public figures to make such statements.
For this explanation, netizens scoffed, feeling that Lao Hu's left-right fighting skills are becoming more and more proficient.
No matter what the context, Hu Xijin and Xiao Chenghao are both public figures, and their remarks should be supervised by public opinion.
Because the Internet has a memory.
Up to now, the number of fans of "host Cheng Hao" has risen to 7.362 million.
