Linda Matchan, From Hub, ’89 Rebel Again Challenges China. Boston Globe, Aug 31, 2011

My comment:
(a) Boston, Massachusetts bills itsself "Hub" (with a capital H), much like China calling itself 中國, which foreigners take to mean "center of the universe."
(b) Boston Globe as a practice refers to people by last name, after printing their full name. So I suspect the reporter mistakes Ling as her last name.
(c) All Girls Allowed  女孩之声

(c) The report says she earned $380,000 in 2009, according to a court document. She is a smart kid. Too bad China can not keep talents.
(d) I think Ms Chai is unwise. She is a "public figure" in the context of defamation and First Amendment to the US Constitution. It is very difficult for a public figure to win a defamation lawsuit. I know not a thing about her defamation lawsuit against New York filmmakers. Despite teh filmmakers' plea (because they could not afford lawyers), Ms Chai refused to back down. She lost teh first round, in the state superior court. She appealed. When state appeal court rendered judgment, it tends to hand it down with a decision explaining its reasoning, which is always published and becomes permanent.
