Huang Xueqin (Chinese: 黃雪琴; pinyin: Huáng Xuěqín; born in 1988), also known as Sophia Huang Xueqin, is a Chinese #MeToo activist,[1] women's rights activist, and independent journalist. Before working as an independent journalist, Huang served as an investigative journalist for several newspapers in Guangzhou, China.[2] In September 2021, she and another activist, Wang Jianbing, disappeared and were believed to have been detained on charges of subversion of state power. In 2022, she received the Wallis Annenberg Justice for Women Journalists Award from the International Women's Media Foundation (IWMF), given to a journalist who is unjustly imprisoned.[3] In June 2024, Huang was sentenced to five years in prison after having been found guilty of subverting state power, while Wang was sentenced to three and a half years.[4]
