Who remembers this lady on Twitter?
Now even Global Times is giving her a shout-out:
Eleven Chinese institutes ’s planned Xinjiang visit in joint letter
Maureen A Huebel, an Australian scholar, has come under attack from anti-China forces after announcing her plan to visit China's Xinjiang region in 2024.
Since Huebel announced on Twitter in March that she was planning to go to Xinjiang in 2024 to research poverty alleviation, she has been hounded by trolls and attacked by people insulting her on Twitter, even receiving death threats.
At the end of April, the Institute of China's Borderland Studies at Zhejiang Normal University and the Institute for Communication and Borderland Governance of Guangzhou-based Jinan University openly welcomed Huebel and expressed their willingness to assist the Australian with her research in the Xinjiang region. Later, several more academic institutes in the Xinjiang region and across China also extended their welcome, with 11 jointly releasing the latest letter.
She stated reasons for her interest in the Xinjiang region
when she noticed rising levels of Australian poverty and homelessness. Xinjiang was identified as among the fastest GDP growth of all Chinese provinces and regions.
However, when she tried to conduct preliminary research on Twitter, she came under fierce attack. She contacted
Adrian Zenz, a notorious anti-China "scholar," and asked him for field research notes and methodology and published peer-reviewed journals, only to find herself blocked, she said.
I'm dying of laughter. Who would've thought that one day Adrian Zenz of all people would get mentioned in Global Times?
