Reasons for Ozil's blocking
What was Ozil banned for?
On December 13, 2019, Özil wrote an article in Turkish on Twitter denouncing the Xinjiang government's policy of education camps for Uyghurs and the Muslim countries and media outlets that have remained silent on the matter, with a picture of the flag of East Turkestan, making extremely inappropriate remarks that seriously touched on China's sovereignty, triggering a chorus of condemnation from Chinese netizens.
The Chinese-language Weibo account certified by Arsenal Football Club cleared the air with Ozil after the incident, stating that he did not represent Arsenal, but no English version of the statement appeared on the official website.
Ozil's name became a taboo, and Chinese fans and media outlets pointed fingers and cast aside him. Ozil and Arsenal were targeted: the main broadcasters, PP Sports and CCTV, canceled plans to broadcast Arsenal matches during the week of the incident, and no longer reported Arsenal-related news in their video programs; Ozil's name was no longer mentioned in written media coverage of the relevant matches.
In response to the incident, Geng Shuang, spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China, said on December 16 that "Mr. Özil is welcome to have the opportunity to go to Xinjiang to take a walk and have a look around, and as long as he has a conscience, knows right from wrong, and adheres to the principles of objectivity and fairness, he will be able to see a 'different' Xinjiang! ".
In the face of the issue of national sovereignty, our nationals have done so with zero tolerance and zero concessions, resolutely resisting extremely inappropriate remarks involving China's sovereignty, and doing so with a sense of country before love.
that's all...
