When China’s prodigious tech influencer, Naomi Wu, found herself silenced, it wasn’t just the machinery of a surveillance state at play. Instead, it was a confluence of state repression and the sometimes capricious attention of a Western audience that, as she asserts, often views Chinese activists more as ideological tokens than as genuine human beings.
She was always keeping a moderate tone, always leaning towards supporting China and the Chinese state as well. I thought she’d skip around the censors because of it.
China doesn’t care. They’ll betray anyone in an instant, because they’re fascists masquerading as the “party of the people”.
The fact that there are so many pro-China supporters on Lemmy that want this shit makes me sad. Lemmy.ml, Lemmygrad (same people), Hexbear…
Fuck the CCP
It’s mainly due to the fact that to us Westerners we wish we could have the stability in China. I will say I personally see China as a state that will crumble and then it’ll reform to different communes (that is my hope). Or we get Romance of The Three Kingdoms but Cyber core
Lol @ the downvote
Why are they going after people who are supportive of them?
The short answer is that she reported a security vulnerability in a popular Android keyboard. It basically operated as a keylogger. The logical assumption is that the government was using that to spy on people (even people using secure messengers) and did not appreciate the secret getting out to the public.
Because they are fascists with power. You can praise them all day every day but when it comes down if you are different in any way they will see you as a deviant and a sickness.
Because of the reasons in the article?
Because it’s not enough.
She wasn’t enough.
