The mighty China seems to be so fragile and vulnerable that it not only censures academics at home, teachers, students, advocates, journalists, to gain and keep total control (as a kind of total war), it also haunts persons who dare to express themselves freele or criticise the paradise China. An example is the graduation address by a Chinese student. Here a short report by THE GUARDIAN as well as the video of her address.

A Chinese student has faced abuse from nationalists in China after she used her graduation address at a US university to celebrate “the fresh air of free speech”.
Yang Shuping, a psychology and theatre graduate from Yunnan province, came to study at the University of Maryland five years ago, as a dramatic clampdown on civil society and academia began back home under Xi Jinping.
