This happened not in China, but in the UK: in January 2019, the police showed up at the workplace of their former colleague Harry Miller in northern England. They wanted to have a word about something he had posted on Twitter.
Miller was told he was "in trouble" for retweeting "a transphobic limerick." A police constable explained that "a victim" (of the limerick being retweeted, that is) reported him to the Scotland Yard, who tracked him down up in Humberside.
Miller was also advised that he was "investigated" for supporting - once again on Twitter - BBC presenter Jenni Murray, who herself was "in trouble" with transgender activists for "questioning whether transgender women are real women."
