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.

how does one check if there is a Chinese bounty on themselves?
asking because I was contacted by Chinese nationals that worked in the consulate in Texas hours after publicly expressing China can go fuck itself on Reddit. weeks later that same place was on the news for burning thousands of documents in their parking lot and everyone inside fleeing back to China now listed as spies.

edit: oh yeah, China can still go fuck itself.
Wait how did they still get your email and LinkedIn?
gonna guess they have a profile on everyone on Reddit.

Maybe ask @ Lemmy/ China instance? Make sure you get the correct one.
