Episode notes

This is a PR campaign by an ill-informed, easily bought and sold influencer. This person didn't mention the working conditions. She never used the word Uighurs. She never said Tiananmen Square. If this person wants to see how free she is... Go ahead and do those videos and see if they trend on TikTok. That's what she should do.
