Didn't all of this "I'm at a very Chinese point in my life" stuff start with Hasan Piker?

He went on a (I'm assuming paid for) trip to China, got shown around by some CCP guide and said "I'm at a very Chinese point in my life" while doing a Mao cosplay.

Then everything blew up on TikTok. Seems very deliberate.
