Australian journalist Cheng Lei, who was arrested and jailed in China three years ago, has released her first public statement describing the harsh conditions of her imprisonment and how much she misses Australia.
She is an Australian citizen. Australian citizens are represented by the Australian Government. You don't lose citizenship by living overseas, what an absolutely bizarre thing to say.
Let me put it another way, where do you think her loyalties lie before her arrest? China or Australia? If you don't think that matters, I'd urge you to examine what citizenship means.

Living and working overseas is not evidence of "foreign loyalties".
