What bothers me about this whole ordeal is the fact that the Chinese gov seems to keep a watch on pretty much anyone's social media it seems. This guy supposedly had like 10 to 20 followers, and the tweet in question was only a reply.
It reminds me of the time when some athlete (if my memory serves me right) expressed sympathy with HK protests, and was made to apologize to the Chinese gov. But this guy is much less known than that.
It makes me wonder to what extend the CCP keeps a watch on foreign citizens. Do we all have a file in their social credit score system?
- bakuninsbart 5y agoI would assume it was a reply to a popular comment, and it being a cartoon increases visibility for people clicking through. Also not impossible that some paid or highly motivated people would reverse image search the picture in question and try to make problems for the people posting it. I do also think that posting a racist cartoon is grounds for a professor to cut their ties to a PhD student. A PhD student isn't worth that much, and standing by them through accusations of racism is probably not worth the risk.

It's more likely that the Chinese government gives social credit for finding and outing such "troublemakers". Thus the "Chinese student in Canada" sending the complaint. By doing that, the Chinese government doesn't have to police everywhere. There will always be suckups willing to throw other people under the bus for tiny amounts of gain. This is not unique to China.
