Someone's take on events immediately after Alex got back, posted on weibo:

At the MSS debriefing
MSS agent: Welcome home. You are safe now and we'll keep some eyes around you for several more month to make sure no one comes bothering you or dox you

Alex: Thanks it's good to be back.

MSS agent: we've reviewed the saved footage of your livestream and we have determined that they are mostly appropriate. They can stay as they are on Bilibili and you are welcome to continue to make them.

Alex: thanks I have several interviews lined up in the near future

MSS agent: however, we have determined that your small head stories are inappropriate and they will be removed because...

Alex: because they don't fit with socialist values right? Got it those are things that happened in America and they can stay in America, they have no place in China. I agree with deleting them.

MSS agent: ...no we determined that they are likely fabrication so had to be removed as false information

Alex: Noooooo! Please believe me! They are all real!

Completely anecdotal, but when I travelled to Shanghai last November it was full of Korean tourists at the tourist destinations that I went to.

Wang Zhian having an Ai Wei Wei moment?

I feel more Chinese liberals will start to have a change of heart. This is a trend.

Of course right wing anti-China fascists that want to see China colonized for 399 years will probably become even more rabid hate mongers.

My take is that Chinese libs with a conscience will become neutral towards the PRC position after the recent spate of disclosures and dumbfuckery, especially from fascists like the MAGA regime. The ones who want to bleach their skin white will oppose China till the bitter end. Luckily, there will be plenty of shovels waiting for them in the Gobi Desert after they’ve all been deported by ICE.
