The last tweet I saw from her that she can't post on social media anymore and other people talking about it seem to be anti-China.

IIRC Hasan Minhaj did her dirty with the editing in an episode of his show making her look way more aggressively anti-CCP than she is, she got visited by the Chinese police, and has kept a low profile since then.

In her own words:

Hasan Minhaj, of the Netflix show “Patriot Act”, decided that in a feature incredibly critical of the Chinese government, its leaders, and its policies- to splice in clips of me- a high profile PRC citizen, living in China, without my permission and completely out of context.

The video segment was extracted from a feature I shot for the Wall Street Journal years earlier (who were absolutely professional and took the written agreement that I have provided journalists for years not to discuss anything that might pertain to my sexual orientation or relationship status very seriously). The Patriot Act included the footage in such a way as to make it appears I was a willing participant in a video attacking Chinese leadership.

This is insanely dangerous.

It was not simply dangerous, it was also deceitful. Hasan took a quote where I spoke to the Wall Street Journal about financial privacy (the government being able to see online payments) and took it out of context to make it look like I was defending online censorship.
