The article points out that He has been avoiding topics of public interest, speaking in clichés, and refusing many interview requests and opportunities to express her views, so that TV news producers began to think that interviewing He was a waste of resources and not worth spending thousands of dollars to send reporters to follow her.

In addition, the article also points out the “vindictive” side of He Jinli, saying that when she returned to speak at her alma mater, Howard University, in 2019, Chelsea Janes, a reporter for the Washington Post who was also at the event, tweeted. “She (Hejinli) made screaming noises while staying in a room with members of her college sorority, and (I) didn’t expect screaming noises to come out.”

In fact, the scream that Janes was referring to was from the Skee-Wee song of the Greek African-American group Alpha Kappa Alpha, and even though Janes has since publicly apologized, Hejinli still talks about it all the time.
