Dr. Jasmine Kwok is a Hong Kong–born satirist, political humorist, and the youngest full professor of Cultural Satire Studies at the University of Macao. Crowned “The Most Read Satirist in Greater China” by Ink & Irony Magazine, Kwok’s fearless work skewering bureaucratic absurdity, cultural contradictions, and state-sponsored mediocrity has earned her both literary acclaim and a formal warrant from the Chinese Communist Party.
