‘Nomadland’ Director Chloe Zhao Now Needs to Win Over China Bloomberg 1 hr ago Shirley Zhao
(Bloomberg) Chloe Zhao just became the first Chinese and Asian woman to win an Oscar for best director. Some movie buffs are now pondering if the prestigious award will help her smooth Beijing’s feathers ruffled by controversial comments she made almost a decade ago.

The reason for the cold shoulder is attributed to a 2013 interview in which Zhao, 39, is said to have described her home country as “a place where there are lies everywhere.” State-backed Global Times, in a commentary last month, said she needs to face the consequences, but also sounded conciliatory by arguing against a ban.
