The Chinese novelist who wrote an online diary detailing the worst of the COVID-19 pandemic in Wuhan has been censored by authorities and is a virtual prisoner in her home, she told the Sunday Times of London.

Fang Fang, 67, said she is feeling “somewhat depressed” after facing pressure from Chinese authorities, who have banned her work.

During the early days of the pandemic in 2020, Fang’s virus diary from the ground zero of the COVID outbreak provided first-hand glimpses into the city that was the first to face severe lockdowns.

Frankly I am surprised that the CCP hasn’t turned her into compost.

I thought that “ Fang-Fang “ was Eric Swalwell’s Chinese spy squeeze ?

This one is 67, according to the article. But who knows, maybe Swalwell likes the cougars.

Swalwell wasn’t Bang-Banging a 67 year old Fang-Fang. A younger one.
