Tiffany, a major US jeweler, posted a ring ad on official Twitter on the 7th, and Chinese critics said, “Reminds them to support the Hong Kong demo” and “Challenge to China”. It became a situation to delete. The company said, “It had no political intention, but it was a pity that it was accepted.”
In the advertisement, a model Chinese woman was posing as hiding her right eye. In a protest against the government in August in Hong Kong, when a woman in the demonstrators collided with the police and injured his right eye, he covered his right eye with an eye patch as a symbol of protest against the police, or concealed it with his hand. This is because the number of young people who have been increasing in Hong Kong and other countries.
The Tiffany side explained that the photo of the woman used in the advertisement was taken in May. The ad was not directed to a specific area, but soon after it was posted on Twitter, Chinese people reacted. (Hong Kong = Kanako Miyajima)
