1. I am featured in @NBCNewsNow today for my #NFT art protesting Beijing Olympics.

However my criticism is clearly downplayed and heavily edited into pieces.

This thread will explore how it is problematic and why NBC did it.

2/ This interview has 2 important elements:

A:How Chinese government enforce censorship & threat to me/ my family just for being an artist.

B:my #NFT project of 5 olympic protest design
censorship is the reason for me to choose NFT

but the clip completely removed part A.
3/ the remove of part A:ccp censorship, spared Beijing‘s aggression towards to free speech

as for part B
I explained all 5 designs which shows 5 human rights abuse in China:Uyghur, HK,Tibet, digital surveillance & covid censorship
But only one is properly shown & discussed Image
4. the other works are either displayed small or heavily edited without my permission.

the screenshot show the editing.
Its clearly hiding the part of the abuser which is Chinese government.

please compare it with original work. ImageImageImageImage
5/ I allow NBC to use my art but not in a way of editing or only showing part of them.

It twisted meaning of my art and misleading the audience. Image
6/ NBC also platformed a lot Chinese government and IOC‘s propaganda to “balance the view”

Like beijing’s deny of Uyghur‘s genocide and IOC’s deny of Olympic app security issues.

As the great @aiww just commented:they always have the last word. ImageImage
7/ I strongly encourage you to just listen to the audio of the clip.

Almost every sentence of mine is incomplete. it shows the trace of heavy editing.

they are like being chopped and put together again.

1. I am approached for interview by a person impersonating @Reuters journalist @JessiePang0125 today.
Fake journalist even sent me photo of Jessie PRESS ID.
it is likely operated by CCP to crack down China’s telegram dissident community.

This is a thread to reveal the incident.
2. The fake journalist tried approached to me via different platforms including Instagram and telegram.
And the goal is to infiltrate 中国文宣 VOCN @CitizensDailyCN a telegram group spreading protest art.
And i contribute to this group time to time.
3. When i suspect , I asked the fake to verify identity with @JessiePang0125 ‘s checked twitter account.
fake one told me her twitter is not run by her instead sent me press ID.
I dont buy it cus the ID is expired.
So i DM @JessiePang0125 and find out the other one is fake.

1/🧵
Is it moral to beg help from strangers in airport to take expired but still useful prescribed Covid medicine (Paxlovid) to China to save your friend‘s life?
This is what I try to do these days and it continues troubling me.
This thread is a record of it. Image
2/ We are all familiar with warning ‘Never Carry Packages for Anyone When You Fly’ in the airport.
But sometimes life corners you to become the guy who needs someone to carry a package.
It all starts on Dec 28, 2022 when my friend got Covid badly in China
3/ Paxlovid is the silver bullet to stop Covid,however it only works in the first 5 days of being positive. So the difficulty to help my friend is not just get the prescription for medicine,but also deliver it from Australia to China in a narrow window. Image

1/ 🧵 国内朋友求新冠药的一事,终于有了转机!
连续数日发推求助找药和机场求助带药之后,我们遇到了几个同一城市和附近城市有备用印度仿药的推友,他们表示愿意匀药。非常感谢他们的慷慨和善良!

另外,朋友的病情也趋于稳定 ❤
2/ 昨晚我推文去机场找人送药推文之后,得到了不少同情理解,也有不少质疑辱骂。
孰是孰非,我无所谓,说我伪善也罢,最重要是药能到。
好在金石为开,终有国内推友看到推文后愿意大方分享备下的药。
但遇到的推友已经是半夜,无法确定事情是否稳妥,所以我今天还是和朋友去了机场,以防万一。
3/ 今天请了两位记者朋友帮忙,希望能够借助他们的身份和口才,打消一些乘客对于我们所说情况是否真实的疑虑。起码由此可以多一些机会证明自己不是毒贩。。。
辛苦我这两位朋友和我一起当“贩毒嫌疑人”,一人上午,一人下午,因为他们当天还有各自的工作。

🧵1/ China is having a revolution right now!
it seems so impossible after Tiananmen Massacre.
But this nationwide protest is burning unstoppable.I dont see how people will just walk away from the fight easily
Zero-covid-policy has pushed ordinary people & economy to it limits!
2/ It started from Beijing Sitong bridge 四通桥 right before Xi Jinping‘s 3rd term from 20th party congress.
A brave lone protestor lighted bride and put up giant hand painted banner demanding ’end Zero covid policy and Xi stepping down'
His name is 彭载舟(彭立发)Peng zaizhou
3/ Then it went quite for weeks from October. No one really carries his fight cus everybody hopes after Xi confirming his life long power after 20th congress,he will ease the Zero-Covid-Policy.
But the hope went frozen when new wave of lockdown announced in Nov. And fire starts.
