A new HBO documentary about the autocrat criticism reveals a bit about the difficult politicians that the president-elect stimulates among those who are escaping nations. The long and loud battle of Donald J. Trump, and presently his re-election as president, have prompted deep divisions among many Chinese who advocate for democracy. Wang Lixiong, a Beijing-based artist, has been imprisoned and surveilled for his vital works about China. He warned Elon Musk and Mr. Trump’s social alliance the day before the election by posting on X that” a Trump presidency combined with Musk’s effect may turn out to be a singularity that backfires on democracy.” Individuals responded by condemning him, leaving hateful comments, including ones that wished him suicide. On her X accounts, Luo Yufeng, an online influencer who relocated to New York ten years ago and writes about the possibilities freedom brings, has even received hateful responses. She had been posting about her assistance for Mr. Trump, saying she opposed President Biden’s immigration laws. Entrepreneurs, scholars, and academics I know who have fought for politics in China since the 1980s have been battling one another over Mr. Trump on social media and around dining chairs. No talking about American politics while we are eating at my dining tables in New York is a plan I’ve followed for meetings with friends. I have been thinking a lot about China, politics and Mr. Trump just because of” Night Is No Eternal”, a film by Nanfu Wang, a Chinese-born director I first met over a year ago. The video, which may debut on HBO on Nov. 19, is a passing representation of a Caribbean activist, Rosa María Payá, who fights for politics in her home country. At a movie event in March 2016, the two people first met. Finally, in their 20s and early 30s, they discovered they were related spirits because they had grown up under authoritarian governments and were prone to expressing their opinions.
