Chinese police hunting international corruption targets were allowed into Australia by the federal police and subsequently escorted a woman back to China for trial, in a major breach of Chinese-Australian police protocols.
The revelations, contained in Monday night’s Four Corners program about a former Chinese spy, prompted a sharp rebuke from federal politicians who are concerned the act may have undermined Australia’s national security.
The Chinese police were permitted to enter Australia in 2019 to talk with a 59-year-old Chinese-born Australian resident.
The woman was targeted under a Chinese Communist Party (CCP) anti-corruption drive called Operation Fox Hunt, which relies on police from the Ministry of Public Security (MPS) to make arrests.
Her case is one of 283 cases documented by an international NGO, Safeguard Defenders, in its recent report, Chasing Fox Hunt.
While Fox Hunt is described by the CCP as targeting “economic criminals”, human rights groups have said it is also used to silence dissidents and abduct people around the world.
I’m sorry if Chinese people make you feel so uncomfortable that you’d rather broil than be near them
I have no issue with Asian people. It’s the prison system that’s the issue, but you know that and just want to cry racist because claiming the Chinese prison system is preferable is laughable at best, nice try tankie.
The Chinese prison system. Whereas the Australian prison system that kills people with heat stroke isn’t a problem, because…
Of course. Its doing all the progressive-y policies that big liberal states like California rolled back under the Reagan Era. Rehabilitation, job training, quality health care, and public reintegration are all policies the US system dismantled a generation ago, because it was seen as “Hugs for Thugs” and “Soft on Crime”.
You’re going to believe whatever you do tankie, the rest of us know reality.
It helps to base beliefs on sound data and observational evidence.
Shouting “tankie” at your computer monitor is not a sign of strong reality-based reasoning.
I’m the only one that’s posted any links to any data or “observational evidence” (tips fedora lol neckbeard). All you’ve done is vaguely hint at Chinese prisons being preferable to Aussie ones.
I’ve never really gotten to see one of you in the wild.
Ah, so you’re delusional. Cool.
Fascinating.
