MODERATORS
Let me put it another way, where do you think her loyalties lie before her arrest? China or Australia? If you don't think that matters, I'd urge you to examine what citizenship means.
Living and working overseas is not evidence of "foreign loyalties".
Working as a propagandist of foreign powers absolutely is evidence of where your loyalties lie.
She made her bed and she can rot in it.
Articles. Show me evidence of your assertion that she is a propagandist. Defend your argument with facts

CGTN was created to serve one purpose; to push China's narrative on events to a global audience.

Lets look at ownership and direction the broadcaster. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CGTN_(TV_channel)
https://www.economist.com/china/2018/06/14/china-is-spending-billions-on-its-foreign-language-media
The channel is owned by State media and directed by the Central Propaganda Department of the Chinese Communist Party, it doesn't get any more clear cut that Cheng Lei was employed as part of the CCPs propaganda machine.
Excellent, thank you.
Now /c/surreptitiouswalk, do you have any evidence to the contrary?
