Disclosure?

That's a huge problem with the tech community. It's novel to see someone who looks like that with those skills and that gets the views.

I agree, it goes a little too much on the slut-shaming.

There's also a subreddit I found regarding this, but it also devolves into comments on her body.

There's nothing inexplicable about a woman using tools.

The main thing I take issue with is someone literally parading a girl around in less-than-underwear for their own profit.

Low profile in their home country.. like showing your face and naughty bits on camera and attending conventions?

Like I said, this really makes no sense when you add things up.

Tools are cheap in China for the Westerner, but not for the average Chinese person (much less that of a girl). Do you know how much a "good" job makes in China? Someone working in a government position with a pension and all makes maybe less than $1000 USD a month.

And a flat in ShenZhen of that size? Also really expensive for the average Chinese to afford.

Edit: I'd love to be proven wrong on this by the way. Bucking this stereotype of Chinese girls all being face-deep in WeChat and food pictures is what China needs.

I'm not the owner of that blog.

I'm ok with the article being presented better, but I do think profiting off it bears ill-will. One of my favourite benefits of the internet is the ability to hide yourself. Pretending to be someone else more attractive and making up a story crosses the line for me.

It's not, I've just decided to use this name here as it was free

That's great to hear that it's accurate!

As an American, what differences do you see in the electronics community now that you're an expat in China?
