This is the first I'd heard of it.
After reading the article, I'm not sure what your specific concerns arise from. Would Steemit be subjected to Chinese censorship if a Chinese investor bought it? I'm not aware how such legal matters work.
Also, are you certain that Chinese censorship is worse than what we're currently under? I'm not.
I wrote about possible shenanigans around STEEM price, saying it could be driven downward for a takeover at rock bottom prices. Perhaps we just saw that takeover?
EDIT: I don't know TRON from Apple, so perhaps my ignorance on that is why I don't understand your level of concern.
