A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

So what? Chinese government is cracking down on her and what is the West supposed to do? Declare war? Send Seal team 6?
At least talk about.
That's what she's criticizing her western followers and the western media for not doing.
The thought that all the western world can do is to either declare war or sit on our hands is plain wrong.
We don't actually know what's happening. She has always been concerned about Winnie the Pooh's minions shutting her down, like they silence so many others in their country.
We have to assume that's what happened, and if it has, we really don't know what is the course of action likely to be helpful and not make the situation even worse for Naomi.
Trying to embarrass the Chinese government generally doesn't make them apologize and back down.
What is there to talk about? We only know what's being shared outside of China. Which is not a lot. I watch the China show, which seems one of the few sources that doesn't just regurgitate the government propaganda but we can only do so much.
The best course of action for her is to leave China. Maybe not an option for her due to personal reasons, but staying in Shenzhen is her choice.
