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.
Fuuuck off tankie bastard
Go home yank.

Maybe read what the Chinese people in China are saying.
I’m not white, buddy.
Which makes you being a white supremacist even worse you terrible idiot.
I mean this in the most Southern way possible:
Oh, honey, oh bless your heart, you tried.
To do what what?
Who tf is Eva?
Typo. What did I try?
Aren't you just replying with some catty pasta because you've got nothing real to respond with?
No, I really wasn’t sure if it was a weird power-play I’ve had folks online do where they THINK they’ve found out my real name and are are using it to throw me off.
And oh, bless your heart, you’re still trying. You have yourself some kinda day now.
Still got nothing eh? Hard luck.
Go away tankie chutiya
Go home yank.
Are you speaking for Chinese people? Western chauvinist much?
Go home yank.
The tankie is actually not wrong. Naomi posted this herself on twitter.
A few times she even called out Chinese companies that were acting scummy to foreign customers and asked that they act better to not damage China's reputation.
(I'm sure that language ws specifically chosen to have maximum impact for someone who understood they might face very real consequences over damaging China's image)
That visit to the UMIDIGI office for GPL compliance was 👌
