Xiao Chenghao, a veteran host of Hainan TV, recently posted a remark on his personal social media about the earthquake in Japan, in which he used the word "retribution", and was subsequently suspended by Hainan TV, which caused widespread attention and discussion.
Behind this incident is not only a person's remarks and a media's decision, but also involves issues such as the social responsibility of public figures and the reasonable boundaries of public opinion supervision.
The beginning and end of the event
On January 1, 2024, a 7.3-magnitude earthquake struck Japan, causing damage to buildings, a tsunami, fires, and other consequences. The next day, Xiao Chenghao, the host of Hainan TV, made a personal comment on the matter, using the word "retribution" in his remarks, and was subsequently suspended by Hainan TV.
Xiao Chenghao, as a senior host of Hainan TV, has a large fan base. His comments on the earthquake quickly went viral online and attracted widespread attention.
Xiao Chenghao's supporters believe that his remarks express the emotions of ordinary people and say the inner thoughts of some people, which is understandable. However, opponents believe that Xiao Chenghao, as a public figure, should not make such subjective remarks.
Just when the two sides were confronting, Hainan Taiwan made a decision to suspend Xiao Chenghao's work. This decision further sparked a public outcry. Many netizens expressed their dissatisfaction with Hainan TV's approach in the comment area.
Reactions from all sides
Xiao Chenghao's suspension has sparked heated discussions online. Netizens seem to be divided into two factions, one group thinks that Xiao Chenghao's remarks are too subjective and emotional, which damages the public image, and Hainan TV's punishment decision is also reasonable. However, another group of netizens said that Xiao Chenghao was expressing his personal views and did not really violate the moral bottom line, and the punishment of Hainan Taiwan was too heavy.
The two sides insisted on their own words, and even turned into a war of words. There is a lot of controversy and accusations in the comment section. This fully reflects the current differences in netizens' understanding of the boundaries of freedom of speech and the social responsibility of public figures.
This incident also attracted the intervention and statement of a number of public opinion Vs. Among them are former Global Times editor-in-chief Hu Xijin and director Huang An.
Hu Xijin said that he understood Hainan TV's decision, but his comment area immediately caused netizens to criticize and write wildly. Although Huang An also expressed his dissupport for Xiao Chenghao's comments, he also criticized "don't get carried away", and as a result, he was also criticized by netizens for "getting carried away".
This fully shows that it is not easy for public figures to express a neutral attitude in such incidents, and on the contrary, they may be questioned by both sides. The extremism of speech in the field of public opinion also makes it difficult for rational voices to stand out.
The incident also had an impact on Hainan TV's credibility as a state media. After making the penalty decision, Hainan TV closed the comment area, and even the director was reported by netizens.
Some people also made up Taili's previous cooperation projects with Japanese institutions, questioning that the punishment was for political reasons. While this speculation is untenable, it also reflects public misgivings about the state media's decision.
Attitude of the parties
Xiao Chenghao's own reaction to the incident was also relatively low-key. He did not explain his remarks again, but continued to be quiet on social media.
It can be seen from the obvious increase in the number of his fans that this incident has also attracted a lot of attention to him personally. However, as a party, Xiao Chenghao did not choose to take any action to protect his rights, at least so far he has remained silent.
Hainan Taiwan did not further explain the reasons for the punishment, but only resolutely implemented the punishment decision against Xiao.
Event impact
At the heart of the case is the question of the boundaries between the freedom of expression and the social responsibility of public figures. Xiao Chenghao only expressed his personal emotions and had no malicious intent, but his public identity amplified his influence and was easy to mislead. So what kind of proportionality should public figures maintain when disseminating their personal opinions? This needs to be further discussed.
While punishing Xiao Chenghao, Hainan TV is also facing a test of its own credibility. How to maintain independence and authority in the supervision of public opinion also requires reflection.
This incident reflects that there is still an emotional trend among netizens in the discussion of the incident. Rational independent thinking and analysis are not mainstream. How to guide public opinion to discuss rationally is also the direction we need to work towards.
summary
The key social issues behind Xiao Chenghao's suspension deserve further consideration. Public figures need to be responsible for their speech, and the official media should maintain the independence of public opinion. At the same time, netizens should look at similar incidents rationally and discuss and reflect on them in a rational rather than emotional manner.
Through this event, different actors need to find a better balance between freedom of expression and social responsibility. This requires the active guidance of public opinion and makes it a positive energy to promote social progress. What do you think this incident has highlighted, and how should similar incidents be handled?
