The famous host alluded to the people boycotting Lotte as "Who are the idiots?"

South Korea's deployment of THAAD aroused strong dissatisfaction in China, setting off a wave of anti-Korean boycotts of Korean products. Former CCTV host Zhao Pu also discussed the THAAD issue online and asked why not boycott the United States? He also said that for China to rise and become stronger, it must first resist "idiots".

Zhao Pu recently posted on Weibo to discuss THAAD. He first discussed the boycott issue in the form of Q&A between A and B.

A: "Have you boycotted South Korea and Lotte?"

B: "Why resist?"

A: "You don't know that the United States installed THAAD in South Korea with the intention of doing evil to China. South Korea's Lotte provided a piece of land to the United States for THAAD installation. Germany!"

B asked: "Then why don't we boycott the United States?"

Zhao Pu wrote at the end of the above-mentioned situational dialogue, "I am also stumped by this question." Then there was another multiple-choice question: Who should China resist first as it rises and becomes stronger? The four options were American, Japanese, stupid, and Korean. Zhao Pu’s choice was “idiot.”

Zhao Pu’s post aroused strong backlash from Chinese netizens. “Smart people know that you have to pick the soft persimmons. Only fools ask why not the hard ones!”, “China is currently not as powerful as the United States and boycotts American products. The harm outweighs the good. But it is still possible to fix the clowns who dare to bully China behind the United States." He bluntly said that people like Zhao Pu who laugh at jokes and make sarcastic remarks are idiots.
