Ms Cheng, now 48, was working as a broadcast journalist at Chinese state-owned media, CGTN

https://www.theguardian.com/news/2018/dec/07/china-plan-for-global-media-dominance-propaganda-xi-jinping

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)

under the control of the Central Propaganda Department of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

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?
