Chan and Badiucao have both paid the price for criticising China’s one-party system. Chinese officials refused to renew Chan’s press credentials before expelling the former Al Jazeera journalist from China in 2012; and the previously anonymous political cartoonist Badiucao was forced to reveal his identity in 2019 after it was compromised and authorities threatened his family in China.

I wonder what she was expelled for? To wikipedia:

In 2012, Chan left China after her visa and press credentials were not renewed and Al Jazeera English closed its Beijing bureau.

Such authoritarianism. Well, surely Badiucao had something happen that was authoritarian:

A Melbourne artist who posted anti-Chinese government work has had it pulled offline by Instagram, while death threats against him have remained uncensored.

Ah yes, famous Chinese website... Instagram? thonk

You Must Take Part in Revolution starts off in the real-life Hong Kong protests of 2019, when almost two million people took to the streets to denounce a controversial law that would allow the extradition of suspects to mainland China. The law was viewed as a sign of growing mainland influence in Hong Kong.

I cannot believe that the Chinese government would have influence over a Chinese city in China.

Unlike other graphic novels such as Art Spiegelman’s Maus, Badiucao and Chan’s book takes its influence from Japanese manga. “There are great works like Attack on Titan which are not necessarily about specific history or political content that have so many metaphors reflecting important things like racism, war and equity,” Badiucao says.

Lmao yes and those metaphors are, what, racism is good and race war is inevitable? Wow such a great work.

Okay, so are they not even Chinese citizens? It's a brit and an aussie?

And friendly reminder that the HK "protests" were started over a guy who had murdered his pregnant girlfriend lol
