Cheng Lei is an Australian national who works for the Chinese Communist Party’s foreign propaganda mouthpiece CGTN or China Global Television Network. She was a news anchor and enjoyed a certain level of public fame. She appeared in court in Beijing on March 31st, 2022. More than a year and a half ago, she was suddenly arrested by the CCP. The public has been puzzled as to why the Chinese police would arrest a journalist who works for the party system. On the same day as Cheng Lei’s trial in Beijing, China’s former justice minister, Fu Zhenghua, was expelled from the Party and public office and handed over to the court system. Fu was convicted of ten charges, including “extreme expansion of political ambition and extremely despicable political conduct”; “doing whatever it takes to achieve personal political agendas”; “endangering the centralization and unity of the Party”; and so on.
