The moment you mentioned "brainwashed" Chinese netizens, you already fall into the trap of an orientalist, elitist, and cold-war perspective on contemporary China. It is just like how cultural elites today in both Western and Eastern countries tend to condemn the mob-like netizens for whatever they feel and do. A sheer sense of intellectual superiority. A more nuanced historical study on the formation and transformation of Chinese netizenship is of course desperately needed, but communication scholars may want to refrain from labeling them simply right-wing or left-wing, given the vagueness and relativity of these terms, but to capture the complexity and contradictory sentiments involved in so-called "voluntary" commentators with the changing geo-political situation China faces up to.

Goes without saying; people who are paid for that sort of work never go an extra mile - the leave posts, but their heart isn't in it. It takes an immense amounts of deep-seated malice and resentment to produce such content.

damn

Lol right, murders parent receives sentence for 16 years, gets out somehow and gets into Stanford to talk about China censorship.

Her Ph.D in escaping prison was how she got out xD Jokes aside, that's a different Jennifer Pan. This one is a professor while the other is a criminal in prison for life.

@@herobetty Eh they all look the same

@@herobetty Funnily enough, I had to look her up for my own research purposes. You can imagine the amount of surprise I felt when I found out she'd tried to order hits on her parents. I guess they'd been too hard on pushing her to get a Harvard Ph.D.

Yes; she had to get back at them for having forced her to study hard for her Harvard Ph.D.

Nice comment. Here is your 50 cents.

人家是斯坦福助教，只是个华人，华人又不等于中国人，新加坡都是华人，你不会觉得新加坡人需要忠于中国吧？你这么和新加坡人说你要忠于中国，新加坡人当你是个傻子, 你说一个斯坦福助教，一个可能从来没去过中国的美国人，是一个叛徒，你是不是脑子有问题
