[8] His works had been published in BBC, CNN, China Digital Times and Hong Kong Free Press; and also had been used by Amnesty International and Freedom House.

[20] In June 2019, Badiucao made his face public in a documentary titled “China’s Artful Dissident,”[21] as well as personal details about his life (such as his age, professional degree, and university he graduated from) because after Chinese authorities had identified him, his relatives were threatened and he no longer had a reason to remain anonymous.

Maybe this pressure can improve the situation for those who are imprisoned, as well as comfort the family members of the persecuted.”[24] Badiucao is extremely active and often responds quickly to prevailing news and events in relation to mainland China, Taiwan and the Chinese diaspora.

In 2013, in response to the rape of six students by the school's principal and a local official, Ai Xiaoming from Sun Yat-sen University posted a topless picture of herself on Twitter, holding scissors, covered in writing above her breasts, "Get a room with me, let Ye Haiyan go", conveying a strong political message.

[31] In early 2016, he created a series of artworks supporting Wu Wei,[32] a former head tutor at the University of Sydney, who had resigned after an incident in which he referred to certain students from mainland China as 'pigs'.

[34] In May 2016, the newly elected President of Taiwan, Tsai Ing-wen, was subject to an attack upon her marital status by Wang Weixing, a scholar with the Chinese People's Liberation Army.

[35] Badiucao highlighted the irony of the attack with a cartoon comparing Tsai's marital status to that of Xi Jinping, current General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party.

[41][42] In a statement, Badiucao said the series depicts "the Chinese government’s oppression of the Tibetan people, the Uyghur genocide, the dismantling of democracy in Hong Kong, the regime’s omnipresent surveillance systems, and lack of transparency surrounding the Covid-19 pandemic.

"[41] The series shows athletes in Chinese uniforms tackling a Tibetan monk, skating over Hong Kong's flag, atop a surveillance camera, sliding a virus, and aiming a rifle at a blindfolded Uyghur.

[42] Copies of the posters put up anonymously at George Washington University in February 2022 were reported to police and removed, with Chinese student organizations claiming they "incited racial hatred and ethnic tensions.

"[43] In 2016, Badiucao revealed that he had been the target of “large-scale” and systematized online attacks on two occasions, (as far as 2016) apparently with the intention of contaminating search results if his person or work,[44] as well as to intimidate him.

[22] Following the release of the documentary “China’s Artful Dissident” in June 2019, Badiucao reported an incident in which four Asian men boarded a bus that he usually takes home and sat in separate seats around him.

[50] The day before the opening, the DOX Centre received a message from the Chinese Embassy in the Czech Republic, requesting to cancel the exhibition, as it could damage relations between the two countries.

[54] On June 13, 2024, the community of Chinese dissidents in Melbourne, Australia, held an event[55] that Badiucao was supposed to attend and whose attendees included the journalist and reporter Cheng Lei, who had been released after spending three years in prison on false charges in October 2023.
