This is something which most Australia are not aware of. Communist China has a vast network of spies who act like police, or actually are police, for local members of the Han Chinese tribe. The Epoch times has a story of how one dissent was targeted, with the aim of getting him back to the motherland China for a working over, as only they can do.
Falun Gong, a meditation practice which seems no worse than any other Eastern practice, is particularly disliked by the Beijing regime. I was at a protest where mainly delightful Chinese women were telling the grim tales of what is done to these practitioners by the communists, including organ harvesting. I spoke with the leading lady. At this point a very nasty Chinese man, oozing Maoist communism came up to us with his mobile phone on the ready, like a gun. He said to me that I must not talk to her as she is "very bad." I said to him, why don't you rack off, this is Australia, not communist China, and this is a legal protest and we will speak as much as we want! He looked like he was going to punch me, but I had on hand my Cold Steel heavy duty City Stick cane, and he thought better of it! He took a photo of us, and I raised a middle finger for Chairman Xi. The Chinese lady was terrified, but surely she should have anticipated that with the Great Replacement mass immigration, this once White country would have more communist spies than Aussies now? If I was not with a lady, I would have used cuss words that I learnt from Leftists at university.
Local Chinese Australians, especially at university, are under intense surveillance by these spies. I have been told this by many students I have tutored.
"The Chinese regime hires agents to go after dissidents all over the world in a bid to get them back to China, a former spy and victims have revealed.
The spy, who recently defected to Australia, gave the name Eric. For 15 years, he took orders from secret police in China to target dissidents in countries such as Cambodia, Thailand, India, and Australia.
One of his targets is Li Guixin, a practitioner of the meditation discipline Falun Gong, which the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in 1999 made a goal to eliminate. Mr. Li has experienced at least five arbitrary arrests and detention over his faith before he fled to Thailand in 2014 with his wife and teenage daughter.
"Right now, we need you to confirm whether we are looking at the right apartment," reads a screenshot Eric shared with The Epoch Times.
"Observe what's inside and around the apartment; take some photos and videos. Organize what you see later so that we can plan our stakeout," Eric's handler instructed him in a message dated Feb. 16, 2021.
The handler sent a series of photos. Some showed Mr. Li and his family in yellow shirts meditating or in Falun Gong events. Others included headshots from their identity cards used in China and their Thailand address from around 2017.
Mr. Li, after reviewing these photos, told The Epoch Times he was shocked.
While many photos are from what his friends had shared on social media, at least one family photo was never posted on the internet.
"Where did they get it?" he said, adding that he felt he was in a movie. It was the first time he was able to confirm the inner suspicions that led him to move multiple times in recent years.
"It's like, this is for real," he said.
Eric couldn't confirm if—and how many—other Chinese agents might be involved in targeting Mr. Li. He had taken a translator with him to inspect the location his handler gave him. He said he had minimal involvement in the case after finding out Mr. Li no longer lived there.
"The infiltration of CCP in Southeast Asia is quite serious," Eric told The Epoch Times. When it comes to "entrapping" targets, he said, countries such as Thailand, Cambodia, and Burma (also known as Myanmar) are "top choices" for the regime.
"The local governments sometimes turn a blind eye and even cooperate with them," he said.
Being "no one special," Mr. Li suggested that Beijing had singled him out because of his dissenting viewpoints. He has written critical pieces on the Chinese regime and became a contributor to The Epoch Times' Chinese language edition in the fall of 2021.
Both The Epoch Times and Falun Gong are heavily censored in China. The Epoch Times' website, like many other international outlets, remains inaccessible to mainland Chinese behind the internet censorship wall."
