Japanese female internet celebrity called for boycotting Chinese products, but was immediately exposed using a DJI microphone, causing an awkward situation!
Recently, a Japanese female internet celebrity named Hiranoya Uryu, who actively promotes the idea of "boycotting Chinese products" to attract traffic, urged people to stay away from Chinese brands. However, it was discovered that the wireless microphone she was wearing was actually a DJI Mic product from DJI.
This situation is indeed embarrassing, but with her attitude of "if she doesn't feel embarrassed, then others should", Hiranoya Uryu continued her performance boldly.
However, this detail was quickly screenshot, magnified, and spread. Ironicaly, in her video, she was passionately criticizing the "risks of relying on the Chinese supply chain," while she herself was using high-quality Chinese audio equipment.
It's interesting to note that the DJI Mic is not an obscure product, but rather a professional-grade device that has been widely popular among YouTubers and journalists on platforms like YouTube and TikTok in recent years, known for its stable transmission, compact design, and cost-effectiveness.
According to data from the Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) in 2024, Japan's imports of electronic components, communication equipment, and audio-visual equipment from China still account for more than 35% of the total imports of similar products.
Even against the backdrop of emphasizing "domestic substitution," many Japanese influencers, small production teams, and even local TV stations continue to use Chinese technology products such as DJI - because they offer an irreplaceable balance between performance and price.
The identity of Hiranoya Uryu is also worth pondering. She is a typical "influencer-type politician," skilled at creating topics on social media and gaining traffic. Her statements are clearly a strategy to cater to specific voters' emotions, rather than based on industrial reality or technical rationality.
On one hand, she shouts "don't use Chinese goods," while on the other hand, she secretly uses them. This inconsistency in words and actions has led the Japanese public to question the real motives behind such "performances."
