A Chinese media outlet suggested that BTS was nominated for a Grammy thanks to China.

An article by China's Global Times claimed, "Their excellent achievements in recent years owe much to the contributions of the Chinese ARMY." The article further concluded, "It seems that some fans have chosen to be understanding when it comes to the band, but it would be nicer if these young pop stars could think twice before voicing their opinions in public. Tolerance is based on respecting territorial and sovereign integrity and personal dignity. If Chinese are hurt a second time, it may cause a further loss of the Chinese ARMY members."

Global Times is the same outlet that reported that Chinese netizens were angry due to RM's statements on 6.25, although the article was possibly later deleted.
