Be funny if shes ruffles a few feathers by saying something derogatory over in China.

Won't go down too well over there and I'm sure they won't just pull the contract and send her home, maybe send her to some remote labour camp instead.

Just as an aside, I met a retired anesthetist who was working on Dr Chang's transplant team on the morning of his death. Word was "secretly" conveyed by police to the 2nd doctor in charge as to what happened, and remembering that all heart transplant operations need to be to the minute, the "normal" transplant operation proceeded without Dr Chang, and without the rest of the team realizing what had really happened happened.
The transplant operation was a complete success.
Dr Chang's team were devastated when they were told of the murder.
Dr Chang's legacy is that the transplant procedures continue to this very day.

A brilliant mind, gone way too soon, at the hands of a couple of bumbling idiots.
