It seems so hard for it to do so though. Sometimes I wonder if our more freedom of speech stance our countries take gives us the wrong frame of mind, the ability to speak freely comes at the cost of thinking about what we're saying often first. :-/ I don't think anyone believes they have influence over the Chinese fandom's decisions, I think everyone know's their opinion doesn't matter to the Chinese fandom. Western fans were just observing and discussing the Vocaloid, the same as always. Sometimes people will have strong opinions, sometimes they will be angry at how the company is marketing to their target audience.

Even if the Vocaloid isn't marketed at the West, people will still have thoughts about the product and will probably want to share them with others. ( ´ ⌣ ` )ﾉ People will discuss political goings on in other countries, even when they are not involved themselves. Just because something isn't aimed at you doesn't mean that you can't talk about it, haha.
