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.
