  While the conditions are terrible and it’s obviously a made up charge, “her governement” is pretty much China.

  She was born in China and lived in Australia from she was 10 until she was 20-21 and then she moved to China, where she has lived for the last 27 years. So ~20 of her 47 years was spent in China, and over a decade of that was spent working for a governement owned propaganda outlet.

  She is technically an Australian citizen, which she became in 2003, after she had already moved to China.
