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.
