I don't know if this is what UG had in mind but I have a thought which, if I read UG correctly, is similar to his.
While this might not be an American forum it most definitely a Western forum. And by her relentlessly inflammatory "Tokyo Rose" posting style, she is cultivating no small amount of resentment some of which, unfortunately and unfairly, is spilling over into Chinese culture in general.
She is a very poor representative of her country and her culture. I realize she doesn't speak for China but when she's the only one from China that's speaking then she kind of does. Again, that's unfortunate but its no less true. She's obviously intelligent and its downright uncomfortable to see how she masks her pain with a posting style designed to keep everyone on their heels and keep the attention away from who she is and of what she is so terrified of facing.
She'll grow up one of these days. But it won't be here and it won't be soon.
