Twitch political commentator Hasan "HasanAbi" recently stirred controversy with a video that surfaced on social media, where he claimed to have "become full Chinese." The one-minute-19-second clip from his Just Chatting livestream in China on November 12, 2025, showcased Hasan expressing his admiration for the country’s unique blend of abundance style consumption and a centrally controlled economy.
In the video, HasanAbi boldly stated, "In my conscience, I have already become Chinese… It’s f**king sick!" He marveled at the juxtaposition of 1950s Soviet era buildings next to high-end stores like Gucci, praising China for its economic development and synthesis of elements he personally enjoys.
Adding a touch of humor, HasanAbi joked, "’You have to try the premium grilled chicken sandwich at McDonald’s China, or I’m going to report you to the CCP officials.’ You have met me at a very Chinese time in my life, chat."
However, HasanAbi faced scrutiny earlier when a video of his interaction with Chinese authorities at a flag-raising ceremony in Tiananmen Square went viral on November 11, 2025. The 34-year-old defended the situation, explaining that the authorities were cautious about attendees, especially non-Chinese individuals like himself. He emphasized that the authorities were vigilant to ensure respect for Mao Zedong and the ceremony.
In response to these events, fellow Twitch streamer Steven "Destiny" made allegations against HasanAbi on November 10, 2025, stirring further controversy in the online community.
As HasanAbi navigates these controversies, it remains to be seen how his statements and actions will impact his online presence and relationships within the Twitch community. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
