A rather persistent narrative that cropped up following the "Taiwan Incident" was that Coco's showing of her channel analytics for the September 25, 2020 edition of Asacoco, just hours after Haato had showed her's, was her way to draw aggro from the pro-CCP antis that were harassing the latter. This was unfortunately a narrative spun up by Coco's existing pro-CCP antis at the time, as she had a sizeable hatedom in the mainland due to her being American-born Japanese, for the express purpose of justifying further villification of her and Hololive in general.
Coco had been asleep at the time of Haato's stream and, if her reaction to that morning's Asacoco archive being privated is to go by (She was informed by the chat of this, while in the middle of an unarchived English-only karaoke stream on the afternoon of the 25th), completely unaware of what Haato had done the night before.
Furthermore, the reason she was even bringing up the analytics in the first place was in response to an article by Bunshun Online, which talked about the success of Vtubers, but described them and their audiences as 'Japanese'. Coco brought up her stats to show that her viewership was actually pretty varied (only 50% Japanese, with the US and Taiwan taking the top 2 spots for non-JP viewership).
Here is the article in question:
