The trend of "patriotic expedition" has been intensifying recently on the Chinese Internet, including the beverage brand Nongfu Spring, which was accused of being full of Japanese elements in its packaging and faced boycotts. Recently, this trend has spread to BYD, the "light of domestic products" in China, and the company's founder Wang Chuanfu was reported to be in a marital relationship with his real name. The female executive who cheated on the company and had an illegitimate child was also accused of having American citizenship, which may lead to the leakage of Chinese users' information to the United States.
