In China, feminists are being silenced by nationalist trolls Some are fighting back

How did the attack start? Liang was attacked for defending Xiao Meili, a leading voice in China s feminist movement and the first to face the nationalist storm. It started when Xiao spoke out on a subject that could not be more apolitical in nature: indoor smoking. On March 29, Xiao went out for hot-pot dinner with a few friends, during which she became entangled in a dispute with a customer at the next table who refused to stop smoking despite her repeated requests. China banned smoking in indoor public places in 2011 but did not specify penalties. In many cities, the practice is still prevalent due to weak enforcement and a lack of local legislation.

Did China s former Premier just subtly criticize President Xi Jinping?

Under President Xi Jinping, China’s former leaders have grown accustomed to keeping their heads down. But in an essay published this week, ostensibly a tribute to his late mother, former Premier Wen Jiabao appeared to issue what many have interpreted as a coded criticism of Xi: calling for fairness, justice, humanity and liberty, all while remembering a period of history the Communist Party would rather forget. Wen’s words took Chinese social media by the storm. His essay was shared hundreds of thousands of times before censors stepped in to stop people spreading it (yes, even the country’s second-highest official for a decade could not escape China’s increasingly stringent censorship).
