Reflecting on Bobba, Liu concluded, “Was it misguided? I believe so. Were they a little ignorant? You know, absolutely, but those are all human things. And so I guess I’m just asking for empathy and compassion.”in the aftermath of the episode, noting in part that it will work with its Taiwanese partners to “re-evaluate our branding, packaging, and marketing strategies” so that it better represents the drink’s heritage.

She added, “Those of us like Simu and I who have platforms to do so always try to use these platforms to educate and enjoy and explore all cultures.
