What the coverage shows

All of the coverage centers on the FBI arrest of a California woman at LAX and the allegation that she was spying for Chinese officials, with NBC News, CBS News and The Guardian all giving that core frame. CBS News and The Independent specifically identify Wanying “Heather” Zhang and connect the case to surveillance of Taiwan’s president’s son, while The Guardian adds that the arrest happened before she was due to fly to China. Fox News’s entry is just a teaser headline and extract, so it adds no substantive framing beyond the common theme.
