Chen Yonglin: CCP Believes Australian Government Can Be Bought
Jun 24, 2005
Picture:Chen Yonglin at the press conference on June 22, 2005 (The Epoch
Times)
When Chen Yonglin, the former Chinese Communist Party (CCP) diplomat
seeking asylum in Australia, first announced his intention to defect, he
told the world about the close relationship between the CCP and the
Australian government, and stressed that the CCP operates a 1,000 person
spy network in Australia. Since then the media has been trying to follow
up on this sensitive topic, but Chen has remained silent. On June 22nd
Chen held a press conference during which he began to elaborate on his
knowledge of the dealings between the two governments. What follows are
excerpts of Chen speaking at the conference.
China Seeks To Make Australia Part of Its “Great Border Area”
“In February of 2005, Zhou Wenzhong, the Chinese Vice Minister of Foreign
Affairs, held a meeting at the Chinese Embassy in Australia with the
ambassadors and consuls general to Australia and New Zealand, and the
general consuls and the diplomats in charge of political affairs. I
accompanied Qiu Shaofang, the general consul of the Chinese consulate in
Sidney, to attend the meeting.
“The main purpose of the meeting was to implement the decision made during
the 10th Meeting of the Chinese Diplomats in Foreign Counties held in
mid-August of 2004, at the suggestion of Hu Jintao, the General Secretary
of the CCP, to make Australia part of the “Great Border Area” of China.
They asked each consulate to provide its point of view and suggestions for
the next step.
“During the meeting, Zhou Wenzhong shared information about the CCP
Central Government’s strategic planning toward Australia and the United
States, which is related to the close ties between these two countries.
The CCP wants to break through the military union of the two countries and
turn Australia into a second France. It hopes to shape Australia into a
country that dares to say “no” to the United States.
“China first started crafting its plan to reshape Australia when it
learned that Australia was planning to give up ties with Asia in favor of
stronger ties with the United States. At that time the free trade
negotiations between Australia and the United States were at a climax and
Australia had high hopes of being included in the North America Free Trade
Agreement (NAFTA). Meanwhile, Australia had a big court case pending with
Guangdong Province in China, concerning natural gas, which was making it
less and less popular with the Chinese government.
“In March of 2003 Tang Jaixuan, the Chinese Minister of Foreign Affairs,
visited Australia and questioned the Australian government on certain
issues, including issues related to Falun Gong. On the day before Tang
Jiaxuan arrived in Canberra, Alexander Downer, the Australian Minister for
Foreign Affairs, signed an article banning Falun Gong practitioners from
setting up signs and banners or using loud speakers to protest in front of
the Chinese embassy. Since then Downer has continued to sign similar
articles every month, which has made Tang Jiaxuan very happy.
“That same year, China initiated the celebration of the 30-year
anniversary of the establishment of the relationship between China and
Australia. The Chinese government sent many groups to Australia to promote
Chinese culture and political ideology.
“In 2003 when Hu Jintao visited Australia he received unprecedented
treatment in Canberra. Bob Brown, a congressmen belonging to the Greens-
the opposition party- was not allowed to enter the building where congress
was being held. This was done to prevent the attendance of dissidents and
Falun Gong practitioners that might have shown up as the congressman’s
guests. Hu Jintao was delighted and commented to his staff that this was a
sign that the Australian government could be influenced.
“In 2005 when Wu Bangguo visited Australia, he requested the same
treatment— not to see or hear any protestors or dissidents. Next Year,
China plans to send Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao to visit Australia,
and in 2007 Hu Jintao will be in Australia to attend the World Economic
Summit.”
The CCP Thinks The Australian Government Can Be Bought
“Over the past several years, Chinese officials have successfully built
close personal relationships with their Australian counterparts, all for
the purpose of establishing leverage in the Australian government. The CCP
is convinced that the Australian government can be coerced to follow its
aims through application of economic pressures and incentives. It plans to
use economic pressure to force Australia to cave on political and human
rights issues.
“The dialogue on human rights between China and Australia over the past
several years was merely a show put on to appease the Australian public.
In fact, there was no progress made. When high-ranking Australian
officials visited China, they did not raise any human right issues. I knew
what was said during their visits, because a summary news brief of each
visit was sent to the consulate.”
Australian Minister for Foreign Affairs Helped the CCP to Wriggle Out of a
Difficult Lawsuit
“Due to the nature of my work as a diplomat, I have witnessed many
instances of secret dealing between the Chinese and Australian
governments, and such knowledge has weighed heavily on my conscience. I
know that the Australian Minister for Foreign Affairs and the Chinese
Embassy in Canberra share all of their information with each other. The
Australian Minister for Foreign Affairs even gives suggestions to the
Chinese government on how to handle difficult political issues.
“For example, Zhang Cuiying, a Falun Gong practitioner, lodged a lawsuit
in the Supreme Court of New South Wales against the former Chinese
president and the 6-10 Office for genocide, torture and crimes against
humanity. Based on an article of the national amnesty code of Australia,
the lawsuit was not handled by the Department of Foreign Affairs and
Trade, but by a special substitute process. This greatly embarrassed the
Chinese government and caused it much distress, because it did not want to
have to face Falun Gong practitioners in open court proceedings.
“To help the CCP, the Australian Department for Foreign Affairs and Trade
provided several solutions. Dr. Geoff Raby, Deputy Secretary of the
Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, promised the Chinese
government that when he visited China in March, 2005 that he would ask for
the materials from the Supreme Court, cancel the lawsuit by the Falun Gong
practitioners and put an end to the charges against the Chinese leader.
Raby later regretted making this offer.
“The Department for Foreign Affairs and Trade offered another solution: to
have the Chinese government send a representative to stand trial in place
of the leader, and thus expedite the lawsuit. The Chinese government did
not adopt this suggestion and instead decided to put pressure on the
ministry, which resulted in the ministry’s cooperation in preparing many
legal documents to assist the CCP.”
Chen ended the press conference with this comment: “I have witnessed too
many secret deals between the Australian and Chinese governments. I am
really concerned that I will be betrayed. Therefore, in case I should run
into sudden misfortune, I have spoken my mind to the public.”

Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party
http://www.theepochtimes.com/jiuping.asp
The Epoch Times
Dec 01, 2004
The Epoch Times is now publishing a special editorial series, “Nine
Commentaries on the Chinese Communist Party.”
More than a decade after the fall of the former Soviet Union and Eastern
European communist regimes, the international communist movement has been
spurned worldwide. The demise of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is only
a matter of time.
Nevertheless, before its complete collapse, the CCP is trying to tie its
fate to the Chinese nation, with its 5000 years of civilization. This is a
disaster for the Chinese people. The Chinese people must now face the
impending questions of how to view the CCP, how to evolve China into a
society without the CCP, and how to pass on the Chinese heritage. The
Epoch Times is now publishing a special editorial series, “Nine
Commentaries on the Communist Party.” Before the lid is laid on the coffin
of the CCP, we wish to pass a final judgment on it and on the
international communist movement, which has been a scourge to humanity for
over a century.
Throughout its 80-plus years, everything the CCP has touched has been
marred with lies, wars, famine, tyranny, massacre and terror. Traditional
faiths and principles have been violently destroyed. Original ethical
concepts and social structures have been disintegrated by force. Empathy,
love and harmony among people have been twisted into struggle and hatred.
Veneration and appreciation of the heaven and earth have been replaced by
an arrogant desire to “fight with heaven and earth.” The result has been a
total collapse of social, moral and ecological systems, and a profound
crisis for the Chinese people, and indeed for humanity. All these
calamities have been brought about through the deliberate planning,
organization, and control of the CCP.
As a famous Chinese poem goes, “Deeply I sigh in vain for the falling
flowers.” The end is near for the communist regime, which is barely
struggling to survive. The days before its collapse are numbered. The
Epoch Times believes the time is now ripe, before the CCP’s total demise,
for a comprehensive look back, in order to fully expose how this largest
cult in history has embodied the wickedness of all times and places. We
hope that those who are still deceived by the CCP will now see its nature
clearly, purge its poison from their spirits, extricate their minds from
its evil control, free themselves from the shackles of terror, and abandon
for good all illusions about it.
The CCP’s rule is the darkest and the most ridiculous page in Chinese
history. Among its unending list of crimes, the vilest must be its
persecution of Falun Gong. In persecuting “Truthfulness, Compassion,
Tolerance” Jiang Zemin has driven the last nail into the CCP’s coffin. The
Epoch Times believes that by understanding the true history of the CCP, we
can help prevent such tragedies from ever recurring. At the same time, we
hope each one of us would reflect on our innermost thoughts and examine
whether our cowardice and compromise have made us accomplices in many
tragedies that could have been avoided.
The titles of the “Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party” are:
1. On What the Communist Party Is
2. On the Beginnings of the Chinese Communist Party
3. On the Tyranny of the Chinese Communist Party
4. On How the Communist Party Is an Anti-Universe Force
5. On the Collusion of Jiang Zemin with the Chinese Communist Party to
Persecute Falun Gong
6. On How the Chinese Communist Party Destroyed Traditional Culture
7. On the Chinese Communist Party’s History of Killing
8. On How the Chinese Communist Party Is an Evil Cult
9. On the Unscrupulous Nature of the Chinese Communist Party

Commentary: From Matters of Principle to Compromise for Gain
By James Burke
The Epoch Times
Jul 01, 2005
Prime Minister John Howard (Kazuhiro Nogi/AFP/Getty Images) and
Foreign Minister Alexander Downer (Prakash Singh/AFP/Getty Images)
The high profile defections of Chinese officials over the past month have
been a timely reminder that China remains under the grip of a repressive
regime while also revealing a disturbing trend of self-interest and
shortsightedness by the Howard Government.
Rather than investigating the explosive claims of Chinese espionage and
harassment by the defecting senior political officer, Mr. Chen Yonglin,
the Federal Government instead turned a blind eye and showed antipathy to
his and his family’s fate.
During a press conference on Wednesday June 22 an emotional and exhausted
Mr. Chen said he felt compelled to publicly reveal further sensitive
information because the Federal Government was not only ignoring his
application for political asylum, but actually colluding with Chinese
authorities to return him to China. Mr. Chen claims a former colleague
from the consulate told him that Chinese authorities were “100 per cent
sure” he will be sent back to China.
The Federal Government’s handling of his defection has again shown how
inept, or callous, both its foreign affairs and immigration departments
are. Former Australian Secret Intelligence Service (ASIS) officer Mr.
Warren Reid told The Age the Federal Government’s handling of Mr. Chen’s
defection was a case of “monumental bungling, or there’s something more
sinister.”
After describing further details of kidnapping in Australia by Chinese
agents, Mr. Chen went public with inside information of how the Howard
government’s human rights dialogue with Chinese officials is a façade. “I
have witnessed it in my past four years working with the Chinese consulate
that the Australian Government, especially the Department of Foreign
Affairs and Trade (DFAT), has made a lot of compromises of sensitive
issues of human rights and about Chinese democracy issues.”
Former Intelligence Service officer Mr. Warren Reid told The Age the
Government’s handling of Mr. Chen’s defection was a case of
“monumental bungling, or there’s something more sinister.”
This week delegations from DFAT for the Australia-China Human Rights
Dialogue are in Beijing. No doubt they will have plenty to talk about, but
the discussions are held behind closed doors away from the scrutiny of the
media, parliament and therefore the Australian public. These sessions are
part of a policy that puts forward the theory that increasing trade will
lead the Chinese communist regime to reform itself politically and renew
its outlook towards human rights.
However, the opposite unfortunately seems to be true, as pressure from
Chinese officials has led our own government to compromise its stance on
human rights, disregard its own legal process and reduce Australians’
freedom of expression.
Mr. Chen claims the Australian Government has aided Chinese authorities in
quashing a lawsuit lodged earlier this year by Australian citizens who
practice Falun Gong in the Supreme Court of New South Wales. The lawsuit
targets the ex-president of China Jiang Zemin and the Gestapo-like “610
office”.
According to Mr. Chen, Mr. Downer’s department offered legal assistance
and prepared legal documents in cooperation with Chinese authorities. If
Mr. Chen’s claims are true, Mr. Downer is guilty of not only turning a
blind eye to human rights issues in China but also of actively condoning
them.
Mr. Chen also said Mr. Downer relented to Chinese Government pressure
prior to the 2002 visit of Mr. Tang Jiaxuan, the Chinese Foreign Minister.
Mr. Downer made it illegal for Falun Gong practitioners to hold banners
saying “stop the killing” and “truthfulness compassion forbearance” across
the road from the Chinese Embassy. This ban continues to this day.
According to The Asia Times Mr. Tang also warned the Australian Government
to not meet the Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama on his visit to
Australia that year. True to form the Howard Government complied.
The night after Mr. Chen’s press conference, ABC’s Lateline interviewed
the new National’s leader Mr. Mark Vaile who has held the portfolio of
trade for over five years. When questioned about the slave force used in
the Chinese re-education through labor camps, he denied any direct
knowledge and implied he didn’t need to know as his role is to facilitate
the economic ties between the two countries.
When asked about the Chinese slave-labor camps, Mr. Mark Vaile,
Trade Minister for five years, denied any direct knowledge and
implied he didn’t need to know, as his role is to facilitate
economic ties between the two countries.
“The responsibilities in terms of human rights and our position and our
candid views on that are the responsibility of the Minister for Foreign
Affairs, and I’m sure that he does regularly make contact and comment to
his counterparts in China on those issues,” said Mr. Vaile.
No doubt Mr. Downer is aware that the ruling communist party uses torture,
brutal labor camps, and propaganda to maintain control over China’s
population. He is also no doubt aware that the Chinese Communist Party
(CCP) is structured to benefit an elite level of bureaucrats, new
millionaires and their transnational patrons.
In an interview with The Epoch Times, the second Chinese defector, Mr. Hao
Fengjun, described the violence meted out to Falun Gong practitioners and
also the huge surveillance effort by security agents on overseas
practitioners. The nature of the massive and mindless persecution of
millions of peaceful people who practice Falun Gong and follow its three
principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is the most disturbing
and yet true indication of the communist party’s unchanging violent and
paranoid outlook.
With the 84th birthday party of the Chinese Communist Party falling on
July 1 we can only ask if the Howard Government will, in the guise of
self-interest, be sending their best wishes.
The substance of what makes up the Chinese Communist Party has not
changed from what it has been over the decades; it has merely adapted to
maintain its power. It continues to be responsible for the deaths of
millions of its own citizens.
If the Howard administration believes it can keep economics, human rights
and politics separate when dealing with the Chinese authorities, it will
find itself out maneuvered by a regime that sees its economic clout as a
foreign policy tool.
With a principled stand taken by the Chinese defectors, the Australian
Federal Government has been shown up to be morally lacking. As these men
have joined the two-and-a-half million Chinese who have withdrawn their
membership from the communist party there is true hope that China will one
day regain its full potential and return to being a truly great and
respected nation.

Hao Fengjun Reveals Facts of the ‘610 Office’
Hao Fengjun, from Model Police Officer to 610 Office Defector
By Li Hua
The Epoch Times
Jun 19, 2005
Hao Fengjun being interviewed (The Epoch Times)
MELBOURNE - Hao Fengjun never thought his visit to Melbourne’s Epoch Times
office on June 4, 2005 would send shock waves throughout Western society.
Hao chose to step forward to tell people why he defected from his post as
a police officer in China’s notorious 610 Office. He risked his own and
his family’s lives to help people understand the situation in China.
A Model Police Officer at the Public Security Bureau Branch Office
Hao Fengjun was once a model police officer. He believes that law
enforcement is a sacred profession. As a child he loved martial arts and
dreamed of becoming a policeman. He realized this dream when, in 1994, he
graduated from the Department of Law in Nankai University and joined the
Heping district branch of public security bureau in Tianjin city.
“I was a public security police officer in Heping district, Tianjin city
from 1994 to 2000. I thought a policeman should punish evil, encourage
kindness and promote righteousness. This is how I thought and this is how
I worked. I received excellent ratings almost every year. I solved two
large-scale drug-deals and several robbery cases and was awarded Detective
Third Grade. In the chief police officer election in 1998, I was elected
to be a first-level police officer. I led over a dozen policemen from my
office to protect the area. I felt that I had reached the peak of my
career.â€
No Policeman Wants to Work at the ‘610 Office’
In October 2000, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) transformed the Tianjin
public security division into a public security bureau. This was a
combination of the former department of administration and security with
the mechanism of the ‘610 Office.’ (Editors’ Note: the ‘610 Office’ is a
Gestapo-like special security force charged with “eradicating†the
practice of Falun Gong, using any means however brutal.) The change
improved the ability of the ‘610 Office’ to suppress the meditation
practice Falun Gong. The ‘610 Office’ has the power to issue orders to
outside organizations and conduct other organizations’ investigations.
Although the ‘610 Office’ openly recruited within the public security
system, it received only one application. The Tianjin public security
bureau came up with a solution- to arbitrarily transfer people. Under
orders from the Tianjin public security bureau, each branch office uses a
computer program to pick at random which employees have to transfer to the
municipal security bureau. If the person fails to register at the
municipal security bureau, he will be dismissed from work. Unfortunately
Hao Fengjun was selected and transferred to the place that nobody wants to
be.
610： The Nightmare Begins
The first day that Hao Fengjun stepped into the ‘610 Office’, he knew it
was not the right place for him.
When he joined the ‘610 Office’ in October of 2000, there were over 40
people in one office. Hao Fengjun’s boss handed him a thick stack of
records, including details about the supposed crimes of Tianjin Falun Gong
practitioners and the CCP’s guidelines about Falun Gong. Hao’s boss asked
the newly transferred 27-year-old young man to “learn, study and memorizeâ€
the materials in order to build a “solid foundation†for future
assignments requiring him to persecute Falun Gong.
“They tried to brainwash me. It goes on every day,†Hao Fengjun said. “I
was never able to put my heart into it or sit still. I knew the ‘610
Office’ monitored, arrested, and persecuted innocent people such as Falun
Gong practitioners and other dissidents. I was tired of it. In the end I
just showed up at the office but I did not do any work. I didn’t think
this was the kind of job that a true policeman would do. Whenever I could
no longer read the materials and wanted to walk around, seniors in the
office who were quietly reading the newspaper would turn around and look
at me. I felt suffocated.â€
The seniors at the ‘610 Office’s are CCP cadres who have worked for years
in the department of administration and security. According to Hao, they
regard punishing dissidents for the CCP as their career. They do not trust
the young men who have transferred from local offices. Hao said he could
not always escape by walking around the office and had to learn to bear
it.
He wasn’t happy at home either. The excitement he once felt from solving
cases was replaced with silence and despair.
“In the ‘610 Office’ people talked to each other with their hands covering
their mouth. They keep their voices low and are always looking around.
After being in such an environment for a long time, people even talked
like this in public. People are always afraid of being heard and are
paranoid, as if they have mental problems.â€
The ‘610 Office’ Has a Yearly Arrest Quota
When Hao Fengjun started to work for the ‘610 Office’ he was assigned to
the 1st Team. “As a member of the ‘610 Office’ my job was to guide and
coordinate with local offices to crack down on Falun Gong and analyze
collected materials.â€
A lot of information came from overseas. Hao Fengjun said, “The Australian
government has been saying that only the key Falun Gong members would be
dealt with [by the CCP] and ordinary practitioners would not be punished.
I think the Australian government does not understand the true nature of
the CCP. If it only targets key members, it should be limited to a
small-scale operation and would not involve every level of the police
force. If it were a small-scale operation, the authorities would not care
about what practitioners in other parts of the world are doing. However,
Falun Gong practitioners all over the world are under CCP surveillance. I
personally received intelligence information about Falun Gong
practitioners in Australia, the United States and Canada. The CCP collects
information on overseas Falun Gong practitioners. They hope to develop
strategies and policies to dissolve the Falun Gong group internationally,
eventually eliminating the group.â€
The CCP’s monitoring of Falun Gong includes those practitioners who live
in Tianjin. “Over 30,000 Falun Gong practitioners in Tianjin have been
registered. Every year superiors give the police a 10-percent quota. This
means that the number of people the police detain, put into forced labor
camps, juvenile re-education camps, or brainwashing classes must be 10
percent of the total number of practitioners. Take 30,000 Falun Gong
practitioners as an example. Ten percent is 3,000 practitioners.†So Hao
had to arrest, detain and brutally “transform†eight or ten Falun Gong
practitioners every day.
Since November 2004 when The Epoch Times published the series of editorial
articles the “Nine Commentaries on the Communist Partyâ€, the ‘610 Office’
has had additional work.
“The ‘610 Office’ of the public security bureau is responsible for
monitoring and analyzing those who resign from the CCP. Every resignation
published on the Epoch Times Tuidang (Quit the CCP) website is reviewed by
the city where it was posted. The Tianjin public security bureau has a
Falun Gong database with 30,000 Falun Gong practitioners’ records. They
monitor the withdrawal website every day. For example, every day a report
with a list of names that resigned from the CCP is generated. They search
the Falun Gong database for matched names and more information, including
which local office they belong to. The information is passed to the local
office and the local office then handles the cases. In that way, whoever
publishes a resignation with their real name will be arrested.â€
All News about Falun Gong Coming from the ‘610 Office’ is Fake
“Since I did not want to get involved in these activities and did not want
to pressure local offices, I was not able to complete my quota. From a
policeman who got rewards every year, I gradually became a policeman who
failed to meet the requirements of the ‘610 Office’ and who finally lost
his job as a police officer. I was demoted to the support staff.â€
Hao Fengjun went on: “Actually the staff at the branch level is not
willing to persecute the detainees that they work with every day. Falun
Gong practitioners could be their next-door neighbors. How could they
possibly detain them? And they did not do anything wrong - how could we do
it?â€
After witnessing Sun Ti, a Falun Gong practitioner, being beaten by the
police at the ‘610 Office’ (Case 103 by the ‘610 Office’), Hao Fengjun
felt that he could not work there any more. “Sun Ti was one of more than
70 Falun Gong practitioners that had been arrested. I saw her sitting on a
bench in the interrogation room. Her eyes were practically swollen shut.
The interrogator was Mu Ruili, the 2nd team leader of the ‘610 Office.' He
had in his hands a steel rod 1.5 centimeters in diameter. On the desk was
a high-voltage electric baton. After I came into the room, Mu Ruili was
ordered to leave. Sun Ti cried. She lifted her blouse and showed us her
wounds. Because she was a woman I wanted to leave. She asked me to stay
and said that she only wanted to show me. She turned around and lifted up
her clothes. I was shocked. There was not one piece of normal skin in her
back. Her back was all black and blue with two 20-centimeter-long cuts
oozing blood.
“At that moment, I felt my heart break.
“I once told my boss that I was incapable of doing this job. I asked him
to let me go back to the local office. My boss said: ‘That’s not going to
happen. It took us so long to collect these people and we still need more
help. How can I let you go? Once you are here, you cannot leave.’ In the
end, my boss did transfer me to a team that does not handle Falun Gong
cases, the 4th team. Later I became my boss’ driver.
“The CCP said that it treats Falun Gong like ‘breeze and rain during
spring time,' and like a parent disciplining their children. I would just
like to know: Would parents starve their children and beat them to death?
“Ordinary people can’t see the truth about Falun Gong. They only hear
slurs the CCP has invented about how Falun Gong is harmful to people,
inventions such as the ‘self-immolation incident in Tiananmen Square’[1]
and the Beggar Murderer cases (in which a series of murders committed by a
man with a long history of mental problems was blamed on Falun Gong.) The
CCP wants people to think that Falun Gong is an evil cult. The government
blames all society’s ills on Falun Gong.
“The CCP’s media only broadcasts pictures of very clean and neat labor
camps with policeman treating Falun Gong practitioners humanely. They say
the government’s compassionate treatment moves Falun Gong practitioners to
tears. All those scenes are fabricated. The people you see might not be
genuine Falun Gong practitioners. I saw the making of one of these
fabricated TV programs. One CCTV (China Central TV) reporter interviewed
the Falun Gong practitioner Jing Zhanyi in our bureau. Even the ‘610’
policemen thought the things Jing Zhanyi said were completely untrue. I
witnessed how the head of our bureau ‘taught’ Mr. Jing what to say before
the interview. He threatened Mr. Jing that if he failed to say what he was
told, Jing’s detention would be extended. Mr. Jing recited his lines like
an actor.â€
Being against the CCP Is Not Betraying China
Hao Fengjun made up his mind to leave the control of the CCP and explore
the democracy and freedom in the West. He finally arrived in Melbourne on
February 15, 2005, and applied for asylum. In Australia on June 8, Hao
Fengjun publicly announced his resignation from the CCP in front of the
media.
Hao Fengjun said, “The thing that touches me the most is that the
Australian people can say what they want when they want, anything from joy
to anger. But in China it is impossible for people to express their
feelings. There is no medium for them to vent their joy or anger. They do
not have that freedom. They have to bear their suffering silently.
“Someone accused me and Chen Yongli of betraying China. I want to ask this
person: If in Australia the Green Party or the Labor Party disagrees with
John Howard’s policies, do you think it is unpatriotic? The notion that
being against the CCP means that you are against China is the result of
the CCP’s incessant brainwashing.
“I love my country and the Chinese people. It is a beautiful country with
abundant resources. But I am against the way the CCP treats the Chinese
people and I am against its prosecution of dissidents. Several days ago I
quit the CCP and other CCP related organizations - the Youth League and
the Young Pioneers. All of a sudden I felt light and relieved. I felt as
refreshed as grass covered in early morning dew.â€
Advice to Chinese People in Australia
Hao Fengjun said: “Life in Australia is tougher than life in China. The
reason I came here is not to seek a better material life, but to look for
a way to extricate myself from the heavy burden of my experiences. I want
to expose their dark nature to the people of the world so they will have a
better understanding of the CCP.â€
“As a former employee of the CCP’s public security system, I recognize the
fabrications of my ex-coworkers when I read them in news articles. I hope
those who know the truth about the CCP will tell the truth. Those who work
as the CCP’s mouthpiece and do secret work for the CCP, please step down.
Your behavior and your articles clearly expose you. Your intention is well
known. When the CCP collapses, how will you face your own people?â€
Note:
[1] On January 23, 2001, a small group of people apparently set themselves
on fire in China’s Tiananmen Square. The state-run Xinhua news agency
reported the incident with unusual speed, claiming that the immolators
were practitioners of the Falun Gong spiritual practice. Evidence shows
that this incident was staged, a ploy used to turn public opinion against
a group already persecuted for their beliefs.

****The Statements of Defecting Chinese Sparks Debate in Canadian Parliament******
Following the statements made by defecting Chinese agents about the Chinese spy network
in Canada, the threat of Chinese spies in Canada is getting more recognition from the government.
According to Hao Fengiun, a former “610 Office†agent in China, there are over 1000 agents in Canada
whose primary task is to imform on Falun Gong and other religious grougs persecuted by the Chinese
government.
Conservative leader Stephen Harper pressed Prime Minister Paul Martin in the House of Commons
Wednesday for not doing more to protect Canadians and defend the nation's soverignty from foreign agents.
“Today the former head of the CSIS [Canadian Security and Intelligence Service] Asia desk confirmed
reports from defectors that close to 1000 Chinese government agent spies have infiltrated Canada,â€
said Harper.
“Did the Prime Minister explicitly raise this violation of our sovereignty when he met with leading
Chinese government officials in Beijing earlier this year?†Asked Harper.
The Prime Minister indicated that he did raise the issue when he met with Chinese officials.

Chinese Defector in Belgium Exposes Industrial Spying in Europe

communist industrial spies in several European nations

A Chinese defector in Belgium has exposed a long-running, widespread
Chinese Communist Party (CCP) industrial spy network operating in Europe.
The latest in a growing list of officials defecting from China to Western
countries was a board member of a Chinese student association in Leuven,
Belgium, according to Claude Moniquet, CEO of European Strategic
Intelligence Security Center (ESISC), in an interview with The Epoch
Times.
Like recent defectors in Australia and Canada, the defector in Belgium has
yet to be given political asylum, so his exact identity has not been made
public.
Moniquet noted that industries that are targets of Chinese spies in Europe
“are all industries with a high level of research and development and with
high added value,” those with key industrial secrets.
“They need to steal these economic and scientific secrets to go faster in
their economic development,” Moniquet said.
He cited pharmaceutical, high tech, telecommunications, space, aviation
and medical industries as particular targets.
The network of spies operating from Belgium is certainly active also in
The Netherlands and France, and possibly also in the U.K. and Germany,
said Moniquet. The students, who may either be military personnel in
disguise as students, or “just normal average Chinese students, put under
high pressure by Beijing” to spy, make wide-ranging connections and take
positions in various companies throughout Northern Europe.
Economic Interests Keep Western Government Silent
Politicians in Europe have known about this particular network of spies in
Belgium for about two years, but have kept silent in order not to
jeopardize trade relations with China.
“The intelligence and security services in Europe are under high pressure
from the politicians because the politicians don’t want any trouble with
China,” said Moniquet. The politicians know that “China is stealing the
secrets and spying on the dissidents in Europe, but they have the
possibility to sell what they want to sell to China.”
“It is very short-term thinking,” said Moniquet. “If you think, ‘That’s
OK, Beijing could spy, but we will sell them what we want’--it will be
true for a few years, but in 10 years, in 15 years, in 20 years--it will
be over, because they will have everything they need. They won’t have to
buy European products.
“So clearly this is not the way to build a real common-interest
relationship with China.”
Independent Verification from Various Nations
In Australia, diplomat Chen Yonglin and policeman Hao Fengun have defected
recently and have come forward to give descriptions and documents of
networks of over 1000 spies each in Australia and Canada. They revealed
details of spying on Falun Gong practitioners and others whose human
rights the CCP actively violates, both at home and abroad.
Defector Han Guangsheng in Canada, a one-time CCP Public Security Bureau
deputy director, corroborated the spying and human rights violations.
Moniquet said that, in addition to the economic gains from spying in
Europe, “The other point is that China is not a democracy and they use
their spying ring to spy on dissidents, to spy the opposition, to spy the
Falun Gong, for instance, and this is not acceptable for a democratic
state.”
Moniquet emphasized that the majority of Chinese students in Europe are
not spies, but the minority of ordinary students who are coerced into
spying is due to “the nature of the Chinese communist regime in China,
which makes it very easy to put some people under pressure by intimidating
the family, by forbidding them to come back to China and so on, and so
even if a student doesn’t want to spy, he could be forced to spy.”
Moniquet’s ESISC is a private organization that has close contact with
intelligence and government entities in Europe. He said he was asked not
to name the specific companies affected by this recent defector in
Belgium, due to publicity concerns and also due to judiciary
investigations not yet having begun in some of the affected countries.
