"The strained relationship was highlighted over the weekend when teenage pop star Chou Tzu-yu made an apology for holding a Republic of China flag on South Korean TV, setting off a national debate.
From Taiwan, she is part of the South Korean pop act Twice. She appears in the video reading her apology off a sheet of paper, leading many to speculate that her Korean management company JYP Entertainment had coerced her to appease mainland Chinese fans, who represent a lucrative market.
There is only "one China", Chou said, and she will be taking a break from all China appearances to reflect on her actions.
