Its unlikely that she accidentally was seen walking around in a Taiwanese flag. Looks like the sunflower protest or whatever was going on full swing at that point. I do find it odd that Katy Perry of all people would make a sacrifice to stand up against China. I guess if people from China want to see Katy Perry they can catch a show in Taiwan. ---

The usual celebrity backtrack: 1. Pretend to give a toss about an issue in order to look edgy. 2. Advisers point out how big a market China is. 3. Shit pants, backtrack and apologize. At least she doesn’t appear to have apologized yet. To paraphrase Milo: fuck the CCP’s feelings. ---

China hits back, basically saying if you want our business then behave yourself.

Yeah, Katy Perry wrote that. Course she did. Full marks to the Chinese flimflam artists who get this stuff out there, though. If they could learn to write proper colloquial English it would be even more effective than it already is. Interesting that they teach excessive use of “meanwhile” over in the big smoke. I always thought it was a peculiarly Taiwanese thing. ---

It’s a standard “contract” that performers need to sign before being given a visa. ---

I fully expect more people with Tibet flags showing up in the next games, including lots of Germans, so that the team is either forced to not play at all or play while the flags are out there. They, the Chinese team, benefit from playing in Germany, not the German opponents (some clubs are opposed to the whole experiment), and they are in no position to demand people in the stands to behave to their liking. If you don’t like freedom of speech and expression go back home. ---
