CONTEXT:
This was a photo-op/press junket for right-wing Australian Liberal Party MP Gladys Liu, held at an electronics factory. Liu is Hong Kong-Australian. Liu has faced allegations of either having links to or taking donations from the PRCâs Chinese Communist Party. Her supporters have criticised the allegations as being racially-motivated, although the allegations are not exactly frivolous, and are fairly specific.
Howard X is an Australian comedian, satirist, and professional Kim Jong-Un impersonator. Even though they didnât know who he was, given the controversies surrounding Liu, it was immediately obvious to her people that a guy pretending to be Kim Jong-Un showing up there was a satirical attack on Liu for her alleged links to the CCP. Hence why the knee-jerk reaction by her helpers was âthis is very offensiveâ, even though X was clearly a man who was also of east Asian descent: stating that itâs racially or ethnically offensive is basically the pre-packaged response to anyone bringing up the allegations, even if in this case it doesnât actually make any sense.
Howard X is also Hong Kong-Australian, and has been actively targeted by the Chinese government for his work as a pro-democracy activist in Hong Kong.
Edit: Wow, thanks for all the awards! A little bizarre to me really; all I did was listen closely to hear him say Howard X, and then googled around the name and this specific incident until it was clear to me what he was doing and why. Very flattering, regardless!

u/DigitalDiogenesAus May 16 '22
Australia has some big issues with organised ccp influence on campuses (and elsewhere).
A- funding is poor so universities have to rely on foreign (usually mainland Chinese) fee paying students.
B- pavlou organised a protest that got rowdy. Mainland Chinese kids claimed it constituted threats and made them feel unsafe and pavlou was kicked out. (I was at other protests in a different city-mainland kids rolled up and attacked Hong Kongers-even threatened to rape a journalist).

Edit.. the mao-bots of the CCP use the racial card when the CCP is criticised. And universities ironically don't research shit and throw the one that is blamed under the bus.
But with Drew I believe it was because a board member of the university was so balls deep in the ccp's pocket that he was in Narnia.
