Media outlets across east Asia were reporting that Cheung, who had just finished her A-levels, had been declared a threat to national security by officials in Hong Kong. There was an offer of HK$1m (£94,000) to anyone who could assist in her arrest or capture.

Friends said: ‘Sorry, you are a criminal in Hong Kong now so we can’t be associated with you.’ Even friends in Leeds stopped seeing me

    ML: China best, this is fake.

    Tomorrow, she is missing…

    ML: She is lying. She is faking. Western propaganda

    Next week dead in a ditch…

    ML: Suicide by gunshot to back of head.

      I have an acquaintance who is Chinese, and the propaganda really got to him. I keep suggesting things maybe aren’t always really as they might seem. But no, they certainly are, and China is better than every other country in every way.

      That’s a bit too humane for tankies. I’d rather expect „she’s a bitch and deserves to die” from the get go.

            Funny, that can be reconciled at the other end with the maga bullshitting: “China is invading us with spies”. It’s similar to the war on terror in that the media would say “fear brown people” and then fundamentalists would do everything they could to validate that through media hysteria to get more recruits.
