Amid the internet furor over her citizenship and her identity, a comment she made intended to defend China’s internet freedom backfired.
Ironically, after being posted 3,000 times on Weibo, the screenshot of Gu supporting China’s internet freedom was blocked on Tuesday.
The Weibo post is still there, but the screenshot of her VPN comment has vanished, creating mocking and outrage.
“What is there to brag about a country where [that screenshot] can’t see the light of day?” a Weibo user asked.
“Why can you use Instagram and millions of Chinese people from mainland cannot,” one Chinese Instagram user wrote.
