Yuqi of K-pop girl group (G)I-DLE has publicly voiced support for the Chinese government's "One China" principle.
On Thursdauy, Yuqi posted a message on Chinese social media platform Weibo, writing, "The territory cannot be divided, the country cannot be thrown into chaos, the ethnic groups cannot be scattered, and civilization cannot be severed. This has always been a shared belief deeply rooted in the hearts of all Chinese people."
She also shared a post by China's state-run Xinhua News Agency. The post stated that throughout more than 5,000 years of Chinese civilization, the belief that the country's territory must not be divided, the nation must not fall into chaos and its ethnic groups must not be separated has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the Chinese people.
It also said, "Resolving the Taiwan issue and achieving the complete reunification of the motherland have been an unwavering historical mission of the Communist Party of China, a shared aspiration of all Chinese people and an indispensable task in achieving the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation."
Yuqi also posted in support of the "One China" principle during the 2019 Hong Kong protests. In 2023, she reportedly referred to Taiwan as "Chinese Taiwan" on a Chinese variety show.
Another member of (G)I-DLE, Shuhua, is from Taiwan. The Chinese government does not recognize Taiwan as an independent country and maintains that it is part of its territory, while views differ within Taiwan over whether it should be regarded as a country separate from China.
