IIRC Hasan Minhaj did her dirty with the editing in an episode of his show making her look way more aggressively anti-CCP than she is, she got visited by the Chinese police, and has kept a low profile since then.
Hasan Minhaj, of the Netflix show “Patriot Act”, decided that in a feature incredibly critical of the Chinese government, its leaders, and its policies- to splice in clips of me- a high profile PRC citizen, living in China, without my permission and completely out of context.
The video segment was extracted from a feature I shot for the Wall Street Journal years earlier (who were absolutely professional and took the written agreement that I have provided journalists for years not to discuss anything that might pertain to my sexual orientation or relationship status very seriously). The Patriot Act included the footage in such a way as to make it appears I was a willing participant in a video attacking Chinese leadership.
This is insanely dangerous.
It was not simply dangerous, it was also deceitful. Hasan took a quote where I spoke to the Wall Street Journal about financial privacy (the government being able to see online payments) and took it out of context to make it look like I was defending online censorship.
Lmao typical xenophile liberal constantly getting screwed over by foreigners.
Thanks for posting this.
To be an enemy of the US is dangerous but to be a friend is fatal.
But this was 2019, why did she go quiet on (the website formerly known as) twitter so recently? And what did she mean by getting "wings clipped" in the tweet?
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
iirc, she was caught up with one of the US backed LGBT orgs that were somewhere between anti-communist influence campaigns and outright spying
edit: i remembered incorrectly. see the medium article posted.
If true, the lesson is never go full 
before reaching US soil.
Oh she visited Xinjiang where she met her partner who is a Uyghur, she got into trouble and so on. She had some LGBT issues with Chinese government previously . She also criticized the Xinjiang policy, she claimed the dancing girls on the road is like showpieces not genuinely motivated.
