Beijing detains Australian TV anchor working for Chinese state media
Canberra fears China is targeting its citizens as a form of ‘hostage diplomacy’

Chinese authorities have detained an Australian journalist at the country’s state-controlled broadcaster, escalating fraught diplomatic tensions between Beijing and Canberra.
Ms Cheng, who was born in China but is now an Australian citizen, had worked for eight years as an anchor at one of CGTN’s leading English-language business programmes, where she regularly interviewed high-profile Chinese and international business leaders.


Hong Kong (CNN Business)In Cheng Lei's last WeChat post before she disappeared, the Chinese state TV host posed in a bright green dress on a Shake Shack-branded rickshaw outside the newly opened Beijing branch of the American restaurant chain.

That was on August 12. Cheng, an Australian citizen, hasn't been seen since. On Monday, Canberra said that it had received a "formal notification" of her detention, two days after her last-known social media post.
