This was terrible in so many ways, and sadly not entirely on the part of China:
Despite her primarily Western audience, Wu has consistently encountered unfavorable treatment from Western media, often tinged with misogyny. Notably, a VICE Magazine reporter appeared to consider outing Wu without her consent, potentially jeopardizing her safety by revealing personal information. In a separate troubling incident, the founder of Make Magazine was compelled to issue a public apology after insinuating that Wu wasn't a "real" human, a baffling assertion considering her substantial and well-documented contributions on YouTube.
I don't follow her, but I am aware of who she is because she's a pretty big figure in the 3D printing world, where she is probably most notable for working with Creality to design the CR-30 "3DPrintMill".
I was vaguely aware of the fact that she had a girlfriend, but I didn't know her girlfriend was a Uyghur. Her proximity means that she's effectively got two targets on her back.

I think it was Wu who did an excellent write-up (or might've been a video) on how Chinese people view sexuality differently than western people.
Her look is highly sexual to westerners (skirts that were essentially large belts, tiny tops and enhanced features), but for Chinese it wasn't anything special - they consider innocence sexual, not bare skin. And this dichotomy played into the fact that western media thought she was "fake" and someone else did the work, her being just the face.
Yup, she always described he style as ultra-Femme. I always appreciated her attempts to bridge the cultural divide. The whole thing about paying someone when you break up with them because you...

The reported reality is that nonprofit organizations supporting LGBTQ in China are unable to function without fear, as members often face police interrogations, personal property inspections, and intimidation, even if they leave the country. The government has increasingly accused such groups of collusion with "foreign forces," emphasizing connections with countries like the U.S. and members of the Five Eyes alliance. As a result, many activists face demands like the prohibition of events, social media account closures, and bans on regular social and dating activities.

This event on June 30th was timed closely with events associated with a cybersecurity vulnerability report delivered to Tencent by researchers based at The Citizen Lab at the Munk School of Global Affairs, University of Toronto. This recent reporting, authored by Jeffrey Knockel, Zoë Reichert, and Mona Wang, addressed a serious, encryption-related vulnerability in Tencent's popular Sogou keyboard software, affecting 455m monthly users.
…
As we can see, the vendor finally sat up and took official notice of this severe, privacy-affecting software bug on June 25th–only five days before Wu, who has previously tweeted about a vulnerability affecting the same Sogou software, was paid a visit by Chinese authorities.
…
Wu herself had previously sent various public tweets obliquely warning about similar, privacy harming issues associated with the Sogou software in 2019, citing a 2015 report describing similar vulnerabilities. A particular concern she shared was that users of Sogou may decide to install Signal App to communicate, believing the app's safety profile to be broadly appropriate for many people. However, the eavesdropping and network fingerprinting risks associated with the use of a third party keyboard such as Sogou take precedence over Signal's security profile.
Didn't she have another encounter with the government a few years ago? I wonder what's different this time. And why she was able to give that interview and send that tweet.
