Of course! Didn’t realize it would prove so controversial here on HN. Figured most everyone would already be familiar with her shtick, especially in context of discussion on open source hardware. But I should remind myself these wouldn’t be eternally relevant controversies if it were possible to reach a consensus.

Unfortunately, I don't think we'll be hearing much more from her. Last week on twitter she mentioned that she'd been told that basically she's making the government look bad (being too honest about some problems) and to stop posting. Haven't seen anything from her since.

While she does have some criticisms of the PRC, she’s also pretty rabidly pro-China, especially since COVID. I’m surprised they cracked down on her, she’s been a very staunch defender of China’s honor online and often her followers jump on the bandwagon against any anti-China person she argues with.

I've always seen her point-of-view as pretty balanced. I certainly wouldn't have considered her statements as "rabid" although she is, I think understandably, pro-China.

This isn't the first time she's had issues either. Her openness about her personal situation, her relationship with Kaidi, etc, certainly skirts what's allowed to be spoken about in public.

Hopefully she's able to continue her core work without unbearable compromise.

I've seen some of her conversations on twitter with people criticizing china have gotten extremely aggressive, with her on the pro-china, anti-west side. In her videos it's much more measured.
