California woman arrested and accused of spying on Taiwan president’s son for China
The FBI arrested Wanying Zhang, also known as Heather, at Los Angeles International Airport before she left for China, the agency said US authorities arrested a California woman on Sunday, accusing her of spying on the son of Taiwan’s president at the behest of Chinese officials, the FBI said.
What the coverage shows
All three outlets center on the same basic frame: the arrest of Wanying Zhang and allegations that she was surveilling Taiwan’s president’s son for China. CBS News and The Independent both foreground Zhang’s identity as a California realtor or real estate agent, while The Guardian US uniquely adds that the FBI arrested her at Los Angeles International Airport before she left for China.
