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.
Extremely telling on themselves here.
Attack on Titan
lmao
Wow, this thing's going off. I wonder why?
This journalist and artist broke the law. Now they can never go back to the place they broke the law. This is international news for some reason
If you break any law in Bad Country then it means you're a Good Person, simple logic!
Be gay do crimes
No one is “tough on crime” in socialist nations.
Sure they can go back. They will just have to endure the reasonable consequences of the prosecution of their crimes.
always fries me when emigres in america complain that they will face prosecution back home as if they didnt choose to move to the most evil carceral state of all time with a heavy preference for punishment over rehabilitation.
One of them isn't actually wanted for anything, they just can't get visas approved to go to China anymore.
Very oppressed when I can not get a Chinese work visa because I don't have a Chinese employer.
The only thing that seems to have happened was they didn't get their work visas renewed because the press agency they worked for no longer exists.
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? 
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
CW: death
spoiler
___chopped her up and stuffed her into a suitcase
The west sure knows how to choose a winning cause.
Gen Z "Aldimaxxers" fantasize about buying groceries in Aldi. This commenter can never go back there after attempting to start a socialist revolution over breakfast waffle prices 
How will they get their "6 7" nuggies?
Or their $6 per 4 ice cubes package.
That insufferably smug tone of the headline trying to scold Gen Z for daring to defy their narratives.
It's the same tone I see every time Che Guevara comes up in a TV show and a character smugly says, "Don't you know he's a murderer!"
I wish he was chinamaxxing, but I know he's got libertarian brainworms
Yes, that's why the kids wanna go there and so do I
awww gosh gee it sure is a shame that when I'm in China these color revolution dipshits won't be there
“Young Russians lean in to idolizing life in the west: these two legendary actors can never go back there” [pictured: Steven Segal and Gerard Depardiu]
There are a lot of Capitalismaxers in the world the USA would easily deport or worse so...
This says a lot about the future prospects young adults feel they have in America.
The grass is greener where it is fertilized friends.
40% of young (age 15-44) women want to leave the USA
https://news.gallup.com/poll/697382/record-numbers-younger-women-leave.aspx
That's like Balkan numbers lmao and the US hasn't even balkanized yet
Much as I like China cuz I'm a communist this is the real answer. People see life in China getting better, and life in America getting worse.
half of "Chinamaxxing" is just admiring a society that builds things
Exactly. Even the most racist and anticomunists dipshits you can find are chinamaxxing because they can fucking see what's going on
While the graphic novel is geographically grounded in an Asia governed by authoritarian China, it also portrays the US as a proto-fascist state, resisting the idea that criticising one necessarily means painting the other in a positive light.
A - once again notable how any criticism of the US is permitted, or even promoted, as long as it also aligns with US foreign policy. Also interesting that this and the Iran prisoner letter both appeared in the Guardian. Did they hire all the remaining NATO leftists recently?
B - very telling that US propaganda has retreated from "greatest country in the world" to the fallback of "actually things are just as bad everywhere else"
Almost tempted to read it just to see what state department style liberalism has been working on during their exile
NATO leftists
The thing created to militarily contest the world’s first worker’s state
With friends like these we don’t need fuckin enemies
they can go back
Could write exactly the same article in reverse for the US by using Snowden and any other whistleblowers or left wing journos.
Anyway "You must take part in revolution" is a shit book name that will never take off. Failed at the title because nobody can make a meme of that.
I guess they’re not gonna be very popular with gen Z ’Chinamaxxers’ then, are they?
Gen Z will see this and go "hell yeah"
Guys art sucks so bad. It's just shitty and overly blunt political cartoons.
Oh god oh fuck Mao! That horrible man who according to Stanford researchers massively reduced China's mortality rate! How awful.
hey now, it's also smashing ancient pottery as "performance art" but then getting pissed when someone does it back to him.
That's a different guy, Ai Weiwei. He is now smart enough to have realized that he was only of interest to westerners as a pet dissident, and he's quite critical of America now iirc. His work is also far more materially interesting than the slop the other guy makes.
This is the high art equivalent of the Dees cartoon where Marx is getting revived by Obama
maybe they shouldn't have fumbled the bag then 
😔
Lol I've been """"Chinamaxxing"""" a few years before it was cool.
A university profesor told me to chinamaxx ten years ago and I didn't listen on time
They can probably go back, but being a criminal in China is really hard you get sent to gulag. 
Damn, sucks to suck i guess.
Sucks to suck!
