      the MSS by now most likely got an ID on all of them and monitor their phone, browser history, bank accounts. I feel sorry for the parents of these young Shanghainese, their future ruined

      So she’s basically saying China is a repressive police state?

      Edit: Ugh, her response:

      I never believe these people a just mere “journalists” to be honest, they seem to appear around the world at the right place and the right time, before an unrest even take place

      She does realize that the largest city in China is going to have foreign journalists in it, right? And a protest is going to be of interest to them? I can tell she’s in love with the CPC, but is she really that obtuse?
