TheGuardian portrays US anti-China think-tank employee as a "Leeds Teenager"
TheGuardian writes a hearbreaking highly journalistic and definitely not set up report about a poor innocent "Leeds Teenager".
Conveniently TheGuardian forgets to mention the organisation Cheung works for but starts off about it being a total surprise that Cheung got targeted because she's such a normal girl just doing activism. Only further down the article it mentions
She had been working as a communications assistant for a campaign group in the UK that advocates for democracy in Hong Kong.
Even this sparse information is false. Cheung still works for CFHK. Also it is not a UK campaign group but a US based think tank. The CFHK staff consists of 7 Americans and two Hong Kong'ers holding low positions in the organisation including miss Cheung
Be impressed by directors Mark L. Clifford, Mark Sabah and Jonathan Stivers for being so interconnected with Hong Kong and fighting for it out of the goodness of their hearts. There is no external motivation here.
I'm unclear on the insinuation here. The board has 3 politically connected Americans on it, which is a bit weird, but not totally unusual for charities. She is an activist that fled Hong Kong at 14 and now has a bounty, which makes an interesting article that doesn't actually leave anything out. It clearly states she still works for the CFHK.
Had been working instead of has been working. Had means past tense which is no longer the case. But she still works there The mention of her organisation is completely near the end of the article after a lot of "I was scrolling on Instagram and was totally surprised!!"
More like 7. Only two Hong Kong'ers which do the outwards "activism".
My entire post might read extremely weird if you don't understand the background of American paid think tanks writing propaganda using people who barely have any connection to their home country.
I recommend this video on a Palestinian doing propaganda for similar American think tanks to have a better understanding of what's going on here https://youtu.be/7E8JJUnFNo4?t=1385
