This is such a disgrace. Naomi Wu is one of the most interesting personalities out there. Absurdly enough, she was always very careful to not paint China in a negative light. She also managed to show everyday life and culture in China from an inside perspective, which is rare enough. It's a real shame and a huge loss to the maker community. Let's hope this gets some publicity, which may help protect her.
The problem was that after Vice published her info, she basically lost any protection she had. Also how no foreign press is really saying anything or asking about her. She was protected when China thought the world was watching her; now that they know they’re not, she’s been silenced.
Her girlfriend is also Uighur, which had her in another precarious situation. She’s said she can’t leave China because her girlfriend can’t.
What the fuck are you talking about? You white supremacist scumbags are so full of shit.
The tankie is actually not wrong. Naomi posted this herself on twitter.
