1/ @GWtweets George Washington University Chinese Students and Scholars Association (GWUCSSA) is launching a witch-hunt to the student activists puting my boycott #beijing2022  posters in campus.

A classic smear campaign to cancel criticism against CCP via calling it “racism”. ImageImageImage
2/ The collection posted in @GWtweets includes 5 posters depicting CCP’s

1. Oppression of the Tibetans
2. Uyghur genocide
3. The dismantling of HK democracy
4. The regime’s omnipresent surveillance systems
5. lack of transparency surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. Image
3/ it is misleading & ignorant to call my art “anti-China” or “racist” giving fact I am Chinese artist
The smear campaign from CCP affiliated groups like this directly harms #FreeSpeech in uni
@GWtweets must protest & defend rights of its students to voice out for human rights. ImageImage
4. all 5 posters designs are free for downloading to protest CCP‘s genocide #Beijing2022

please share to advocate and protect those brave students activists who put my art in campus of @GWtweets

They are facing threat like doxing and physical harm from CCP any minute! ImageImageImageImage
5. the smear campaign by CWUCSSA is also launched from #WeChat

here is the link:mp.weixin.qq.com/s/7UjrIYP0ASYg…

The organizers from this CCP whitewashing operation shall be looked carefully from US authority. ImageImageImage
6. I,the artist of all 5 posters, want to propose to @GWtweets and GWU China Students and Scholars Association to have an OPEN debate on the Campus of @GWtweets on the topic “if my art is racism or legit criticism against CCP” Image
7. Nancy seems to b from GWUCSSA.
She associated my art as Trump's racist calling “Chinese Virus”

This is an absurd comparing.
My art is always about criticizing CCP and celebrating courage of Chinese who bravely fighting back against the system like Dr Li. ImageImageImage
8/ CCP is always trying to confuse and mix the notion among #Country #People and #government in order to cancel any criticism as “anti-China” or “raciam”

This has been strategy since the very beginning of its ruling even reflecting in its national flag design. ImageImage
9/ design of 🇨🇳 does nothing to reflect China‘s history culture or People but a pure politicized propaganda to enforce CCP’s dominance

Big Star:CCP
4 little star: different classes
meaning:all people just follow CCP

Thats why flag in my art represents CCP instead of Chinese ImageImageImageImage
10/ ChineseCultureAssociation from @GWtweets uses Wechat to launch a new witch-hunt against my #beijing2022  protest art.
it claims, GWU’s new president @PresWrightonGW said he was personally offended by my art.
I’d kindly ask Mr wrighton why art critcising CCP would offend him? ImageImageImage
11/ In this new letter form CCA, it calls my art about CCP’s crimes against Tibetans HKers and Uyghur are controversial and violent.

But why does CCA not denounce CCP’s Uyghur genocide as racist n hateful but call my art depicting this human rights disaster is too violent ?! ImageImageImageImage
12/ Again CCA tried to pin my art with “Chinese Virus” Accusation

But my art is explicitly targeting CCP
Yes i would call it CCP virus.

thats because the 5 star flag 🇨🇳 never represents China's culture people or history but CCP‘s dominance. ImageImageImage
13/ full letter from CCA from WeChat
mp.weixin.qq.com/s/_nfEFkrD1QLD…
14/ I just cut all profits for T-shirt, poster and toe bag with my design of #Beijing2022 
from my art shop:
badiucao.com/artshop

for support students attacked by CSSA & CCA for posting my art GWU @GWtweets,

i hope more will go GWU to display the art in solidarity ! Image
15/ In response to CSSA, GeorgeWashington Uni @GWtweets president @PresWrightonGW claims he is “personally offended” by my art criticising China’s rights abuse like Uyghur genocide & oppression in Tibet & HongKong.

I demand him an explanation why exposing CCP’s abuse offends him Image
16/ for the authenticity of the email, I can not reveal the source for security concern of my helpers.

However, the screenshot is circulating on WeChat Group of CSSA.

And the letter is also quoted by CCA’s public statement on WeChat:
mp.weixin.qq.com/s/_nfEFkrD1QLD… ImageImage
17/ April, 201,almost 6 years ago,tutor Wu from UNISYD po a video of himself burning his Chinese passport , extinguishing flames in a toilet bowl.
He was accused as racist n doxed by Chinese nationalists
he was eventually fired by UniSYD for this smh.com.au/national/nsw/u…
18 #BREAKING we won a little Image
19. This is my response to @PresWrightonGW the President of @GWtweets new statement on my post.

I weclome the decision from GW to admit it’s a mistake to take down my art.

However, stopping wrongdoing won’t just fix the damage already done. Image
20 “Dear GW admins, if your initial glimpse of this particular poster determined it is inappropriate and offensive, it’s because it is.” — CSSA‘s new response to GW’s changed attitude on support my art.

Very reasonable and objective!

fstatement link:mp.weixin.qq.com/s/i-CID9x2NeDG… ImageImage
21 China‘s National TV (CCTV) is just spotted in GWU @GWtweets campus.
They allegedly interview students about my Olympic protesting posters.

If confirmed,it will b an concerning development.
Clearly an intimidation to Chinese students who dare to speak up against ccp in GW ImageImage

2. I weclome the decision from GW to clean the name of my art from CSSA and CCA‘s “racist calling smear campaign” and admit it is a mistake to take down my art.

However, just stopping wrong doing will not fix the damage cauaed by this very action of GW.
3. And here is what GW could do to make it right.

1.The posters are taken down by GW as a mistake. To fix this, GW should put the posters back. Perhaps even better to introduce a permanent display of the art in the Campus.

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

1. Today I finished my residence in Brescia Italy for my solo exhibition.
It has been a wonderful art journey and full of adventure from China embassy’s threat to death warning of CGTN and Chinese nationalists.
This thread will take you to some of works exhibited in this show. ImageImageImageImage
2. “Carrie Xi” is first work in the show as well as the poster design.
I intentionally choose it because my forced cancelled show “Gongle” in HK used the same poster.

Its a new version of oil painting different from its original digital version.
Its my statement to censorship! ImageImageImageImage
3. The Red Room is the first section to show.
All works here have an intimate relation to me personally from the masks I used while i was hiding from CCP to the Tiger Chair i bought from Taobao.
Also some 4000 handsharped pencil as China dream and my role model the great @aiww ImageImageImageImage

1. My Op-ed with @abcnews On Chinese athlete wearing Mao‘s Badges in a #Olympics medal ceremony.

The Olympics is no place to praise a tyrant. They should be disqualified from their gold medal winning event.

2. When I saw the badges of Mao, I suddenly found it hard to breathe. To me, it rekindled the painful memory of my father’s tragic childhood. For this badge, once worn by millions across the country, it is still a poignant icon of the brutality of China’s ruling party.
3. Between 1957 and 1959, Mao’s Anti-Rightist Campaign purged at least 550,000 people — including most leading artists and intellectuals. My grandfather, one of the first film makers in China, was brutally persecuted and killed during this very campaign.
