As feminist/LGBTQ+ activism continues to be targeted as a threat to Xi’s rule in China, queer feminist voices have shifted from offline to online social media to engage public interest in gender and sexuality. Written entirely by Chinese researchers/activists in the diaspora, these timely and fascinating essays’ interrogation of the survival strategies of post-2010s feminist practice reveal the fragile line it treads between accommodating the constraints of the state, serving the individualising interests of the neoliberal capitalism, upholding principles of equality and inclusion for sexual minorities as well as women, and calling for transnational alliances as a condition of gender justice for all.
