When China's prodigious tech influencer, Naomi Wu, found herself silenced, it wasn't just the machinery of a surveillance state at play. Instead, it was a confluence of state repression and the sometimes capricious attention of a Western audience that, as she asserts, often views Chinese activists more as ideological tokens than as genuine human beings.

It felt very condescending :/

I think you can congratulate or acknowledge someone's talents or skills without being off putting towards those who don't have them. I think the stuff the maker does is incredible and the tone by the journalist is strange, I would really like to know their reasoning to get a better understanding.
