During the live broadcast of the opening ceremony of the Tokyo Olympics in Japan, China’s main web live broadcast platform Tencent Video cut off the entrance of the Chinese delegation, which caused dissatisfaction among Chinese internet users. They all expressed their intention to uninstall the Tencent Video app and demanded an apology.
It was reported on July 24 that many Chinese people watched the opening ceremony of the Tokyo Olympics through Tencent Video. When the Chinese delegation was about to enter the venue, the video switching screen of Tencent shifted to the sports talk show “Huan Huan Huan Huan Huan” for 20 minutes, and did not return to the live broadcast, thus missed the Chinese team.
Many Chinese internet users said that they have waited for five years for the Chinese team to enter the stadium. They questioned that Tencent Video’s failure to broadcast live at critical moments is a bad intention: “If you don’t respect the motherland, I will just uninstall and uninstall…”, “Tencent no longer has China in its heart. “, “I hope to investigate the incident strictly, a big company traitor.”
Related talk show hosts Pang Bo and Pang Bo Studio apologized on Weibo at about 22:00 on the 23rd. They stated that they discovered that the program was suddenly cut out while watching the opening ceremony of the Olympics. And we learned that it was due to a technical problem during the broadcast. The backup pad was cut out in the middle of the broadcast, which interrupted the normal viewing and seriously affected everyone’s experience of watching the opening ceremony. As the team of the program anchor Pang Bo, we are very sorry!
Pang Bo’s personal Weibo once again apologized to everyone for affecting the mood of watching the opening ceremony, and expressed hope that everything goes well for the Olympics, cheer for the Chinese athletes and return safely.
However, Tencent Video did not apologize for a long time. Instead, it posted three pictures on Weibo about the entry of the Chinese representative. Chinese internet users asked for an explanation and an apology.
