According to the article, Cover Corp expressed optimism about the potential for growth in the Chinese market, particularly in the areas of traditional and simplified Chinese language content.

The company stated that the Chinese market is not currently a top priority for the company, due to the challenges and limitations posed by government regulations.

In September 2020, a Hololive China member made controversial comments regarding Taiwan's status as a country during a livestream, sparking outrage among Chinese netizens who accused her of supporting Taiwanese independence. As a result, two Hololive China members were suspended and the agency issued an apology to Chinese fans.

It also highlights the challenges faced by global companies and content creators in navigating politically sensitive issues in different countries and regions, particularly in markets such as China where government regulations can be strict and unpredictable.
