Some artists and activists established a temporary physical "Internet Violence Museum" to show how online violence on the Internet in China brutally attacked feminists. This project responded to the recent persecution of feminists by nationalist trolls and major online platforms. “I was lynched in the Chinese media,” Chinese-Australian researcher Vicky Xu told Australian TV’s Q&A program in April. Ethnic Chinese women are seen as theState’s property; whenever they’re deemed to have strayed from patriarchal values, they are damned. Many women the Guardian spoke to declined to go on the record, for fear of retaliation or escalation of the online abuse.
