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.
I’m not sure I understand… why would the Chinese keep somebody they are racist against in the country? To continue being racist against them? Wouldn’t they want them to leave? Or are they being treated as free labor?
