Women just cause problems.
This bitch was going around trying to get a metoo movement started in China, then she ended up in Hong Kong encouraging people to riot in the name of revolutionary anal American values.
To be clear: metoo was not illegal in China. This DW report purposefully tries to give the impression she was charged for doing metoo. She was charged in relation to organizing rallies to provoke Hong Kong riots.
A court in China sentenced prominent #MeToo activist Huang Xueqin to five years in prison, convicting her of state subversion, according to a group campaigning for her release and a copy of the court verdict.
Labor rights activist Wang Jianbing, who was also on trial with Huang, was sentenced to three years and six months by the Guangdong Intermediate People’s Court.
Huang, an independent journalist, reportedly plans to appeal her sentence. It is not clear whether Wang would also appeal his sentence.
“[The sentence] was longer than we expected,” a spokesperson for the campaign group Free Huang Xueqin and Wang Jianbing said on the condition of anonymity.
“I don’t think it should have been this severe, and it is completely unnecessary. We support Huang Xueqin’s intention to appeal,” he told Reuters news agency.
Why were Huang and Wang arrested?Supporters lost contact with the two activists in September 2021, and they were formally arrested a month later.
The two were then detained in Guangzhou province, and their closed-door trial did not begin until 2023.
Huang, who covered the #MeToo allegations and the 2019 Hong Kong anti-government protests, was also arrested in 2019.
Both Huang and Wang faced charges of sedition following gatherings they held for Chinese youth where they exchanged views on social issues.

The Chinese government often uses the charge of “inciting subversion of state power” against dissidents.
“Inciting subversion of state power” is basically part of Xi’s revamped “Mandate of Heaven.” Without explicitly saying it (maybe he should say it), Xi has established himself as the de facto Emperor of China.
Metoo never quite caught on in China.
Far from that being a result of government interference (the metoo bitch above was charged with unrelated crimes), this sort of thing just doesn’t make sense to Asian people. It becomes: “You no want do sex then why you do sex? Huh?” The whole “well, there are these secret forces called ‘power dynamics’ which controlled my body and forced me to choose to have sex in order to get a career promotion” narrative is one of many Western narratives that simply will not register with Asian people at large.
China has 1.5 billion people, so you’d think that even if it wasn’t very popular, they could have gotten the train rolling. But no.
