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.

My partner is a refugee / enemy of her former state for advocating democracy. Her friend was on the phone with her (the friend’s) brother when he was kidnapped and disappeared. Another of her friends was targeted in his home (abroad) and has to keep his travel plans secret. And that country is nowhere near as powerful as China. This woman is extremely brave.
