Hmm. That's... hmmmm.

They don't have power over what people outside of China do with Tianyi and friends, right?

I'm pretty sure using Vocaloid for explicitly political purposes is against the terms of service. But then, they only mentioned vague things like "Promoting positive values" which can mean just about anything. It's not quite the same as when that Japanese politician tried to use Miku to get elected.

It's all rather unfortunate, but not really that surprising, all things considered. I mostly feel bad for the Chinese artists whose freedom of expression is limited because of this kind of stuff.
