Columnist and online commentator Ou Biaofeng was detained in 2020 for his online commentary about “Ink Girl,” an artist who defaced an image of Xi Jinping. He was sentenced to 42 months in prison on charges of “inciting subversion of state power” due to his political opinion pieces and outspoken criticism of the Chinese government. On September 16, 2024, Ou Biaofeng was released after serving his full sentence.
