Chloe Zhao is the first Asian woman to win a Golden Globe for best director and also the second woman to ever win the award. But she is not finding universal praise in her birth country, China. The filmmaker of Nomadland finds that criticisms in China about her citizenship and identity are taking some of the attention away from the news of her success. The Chinese government has removed some social media posts about the film, which is now a leading Oscar candidate. These actions have raised questions about whether Nomadland will still be released in the country. Over the past week, Chinese web users questioned whether Zhao, who was educated in Britain and the United States, was still a Chinese citizen. They also asked if she could be counted as Chinese given comments she has made in the past. Even as some celebrated her win, others found two interviews in which Zhao said things they considered an “insult to China.”
