Who will blink first? This will be an important marker of how far global superstars can push back against Chinese pressure to conform to CCP views to keep access to China’s market. BTS have much more international clout than other artists who have faced the same problem https://t.co/CNxbBbTG0D

 What is the meaning and origin of the phrase "who blinks first"? meaning derives from a kids game in a staring contest - whoever blinks first loses. in an adult context, it sometimes refers to a hi-tension stand-off between fierce rivals - can be applied to business or war.
