The hypocrisy is outrageous. One the one hand, these United Front operatives claim it is "Chinese culture" to bribe journalists; one the other hand, they cry "discrimination" the moment their CCP ties are exposed. (Screenshots from NYT investigations.)

What surprises me isn’t that this act of transnational repression happened, but that it became publicly known. Kudos to the exhibition host for bringing it to light. I’m sure many other organizations would have quietly removed the artwork without anyone ever knowing.

*sigh* it is not in fact a controversial idea that Americans enjoy substantially more rights than Chinese citizens, and you have to be incredibly ignorant of basic facts about China to believe otherwise.

When I was in graduate school, nothing in the world felt more important to me than publishing a paper in the scientific literature. It was not about getting a job or competing with my peers. It was about being part of something vastly larger than myself and profoundly meaningful human history.
