There has never been a lack of celebrity debates on Weibo, but Cui Yongyuan's and Fang Zhouzi's GM debate on Tencent's Weibo can be described as the most controversial and most ornamental public event in the near future.
At present, the debate between the two camps is intensifying Tencent Weibo, and the focus has shifted from the GM dispute to individual behavior. Fang Zhou began to question the issue of Xiao Cui's public welfare oil quality.
"Safety of Genetically Modified Foods" vs "Public Use of Oil Quality"
The round of arguments originated from a round of speeches by Fang on the GM food on September 7.
At the time, on Tencent's Weibo, Fang Zhou initiated an activity to encourage netizens to taste genetically modified corn and said that “though the taste of genetically modified corn has no scientific value, but it has popular science value, we should create conditions so that people can eat it every day”.
As soon as the speech came out, it caused widespread controversy on Weibo, especially the cry of Cui Yongyuan. For the first time, Cui Yongyuan launched a microblogging campaign on “Tencent Weibo” of “Genetic food, do you eat?”.
During the following week, the two sides came and went with questions on the issue of language and logic, and whether or not they were eligible for popular science, etc., and each had their own words and performed several rounds of moves on Tencent's Weibo.
On the 14th, Fang suddenly changed the direction of the debate and questioned Xiao Cui's charity action for “adding food to children” on Tencent Weibo, causing a loss.
In the face of doubts, Cui Yongyuan frankly responded on Weibo: “Our charity projects include adding dishes for children, collecting oral history, and training rural teachers. All questions and supervisions are welcome. We don’t understand public charities. No need for 'qualification'."
20 million fans involved in controversy
Cui Yongyuan and Fang Zhouzi have been playing fiercely on Tencent's Weibo, and the scope has become wider and wider. The impact has been increasing. Dai Xu, Luo Chongmin, Muzi Mei, Lou Xinjiang and many other Tencent Weibo V companies have also joined in. During the debate, nearly 20 million fans of both Cui Yongyuan and Fang Zhouzi are also standing in teams and arguing!
When Cui Yongyuan was challenged by the Fang for charity, it was once again an uproar. For example, Tencent Weibo’s Red House Xinjiang accused Fang: "I don't have anything to say about your genetic modification, but please don't mean to start the good practice." As of now, the topic of Fang Cui's "transgenic" debate. Tencent Weibo has reached 2.24 million. According to the arguments by Cui Yongyuan and Fang Zhouzi, 90% of Tencent Weibo users support Xiao Cui and believe that “Cui Cui is more plausible”.
Although Fang Cui struggled to win the battle, he has already risen from the issue of “eat GM foods” to language logic, popular science problems, and even public welfare. However, more users are interested in not the dispute itself but the safety of genetic modification. This fact.
Like many other public issues, discussion and debate on genetic modification has become a hot topic on Weibo, and Weibo is playing an increasingly important role in public life.
