CCP Spy Network Runs Deep in U.S.
Military laboratories, Ivy League universities, private citizens face
widespread espionage and repression from Chinese agents

A large network of Chinese Communist Party (CCP) spies is rampant in the
U.S., say members of Congress, Ivy League academics, and two defecting CCP
officials.
The spies aim not only to steal military and technology secrets but also
to influence, repress, and even control the ideals and actions of
Americans.
In defecting in Australia early in June, CCP officials Mr. Hao Fengiun and
Mr. Chen Yonglin sparked a string of headlines, first in Australia then in
Canada, about a massive network of CCP spies in Western countries that
could far exceed previously held estimates of the problem.
On the heels of these revelations, Australias foreign minister and
Canadas prime minister both personally responded to criticism from
opposition leaders that their governments had not done enough to curb
espionage and other illicit activity by CCP agents in their countries.
According to one scholar with intimate knowledge of several Ivy League
universities and associated research centers, however, the problem is far
greater in the United States, where a public dialogue on the issue has yet
to emerge.
If China has deployed 1,000 spies to Australia and another 1,000 to
Canada, the scholar noted, can you imagine how many are here in the
U.S.?
Military Designs and Technology Stolen
Prior to 9/11, Chinese espionage was a top concern among the nations
lawmakers and security agencies.
In May 1999, a Congressional select committee on military and commercial
concerns with the Peoples Republic of China (PRC) issued a report
detailing the problems of Chinese espionage in the U.S. According to the
declassified version of the report, known as the Cox Report, the primary
targets of Chinese espionage had been the nations weapons laboratories,
such as Los Alamos, Lawrence Livermore, Oak Ridge and Sandia.
Dating back several decades and almost certainly continu[ing] today, the
report says key military technologies such as advanced thermonuclear
weapons, the neutron bomb and an assortment of nuclear missiles had been
taken by Chinese spies.
The PRC, says the report, uses a variety of techniques, including
espionage, controlled commercial entities, and a network of individuals
and organizations that engage in a vast array of contact with scientists,
business people, and academics.
According to the FBIs annual report, there has been a 20-30 percent rise
in the number of Chinese espionage cases in Silicon Valley, a hotbed of
technology innovation located south of San Francisco.
On February 13, 2005, Time magazine reported that over 3,000 companies in
the U.S. are suspected of gathering intelligence for the PRC. Many of
these companies, says a source who has worked with a number of Ivy League
Universities and associated research centers, are fronts for Chinas
Peoples Liberation Army.
According to Xu Wenli, a pro-democracy advocate who was jailed for 12
years in China, the CCP actively recruits and sends students abroad to
gather information for the government. Some of these students then move on
to work for military and government contractors here in the U.S.all the
while, gathering and sending information back to the CCP.
More recently, however, another side of Chinas spy network, one that aims
to influence, repress, or control ideology and discussions on university
campuses, has been highlighted.
Chinese Communist Fronts Mobilized at U.S. Universities
According to several academics at Yale, Harvard, Columbia University and
the University of Pennsylvania, the CCP has been very active on U.S.
campuses. Working primarily through on-campus student groups, they say
Chinese consulate officials seek to silence academics critical of the CCP,
and promote the regime as peaceful, progressive and a vital player on the
world stage.
According to one Ivy League scholar, Chinese consulate officials meet with
students on campus, providing them with direction and organizing united
fronts against CCP critics.
I was present at one such meeting, said the scholar.
As a result, lecturers at the universities offering critical analyses of
the Chinese government have sometimes met with hecklers who would stand up
and yell at them in the middle of their lectures. The aim, says the
scholar, is to not only discredit the lecturer and the subject matter,
but also intimidate fellow students from adopting points of view critical
of China. This has happened to me on a number of occasions.
According to this scholar, consulate officials also pay students to attend
rallies and other events promoting the Beijing government. Dr. Yi Rong, a
human rights worker in New York City concurs. Chinese students are paid
and bussed in by the hundreds to form a greeting rally whenever a
high-ranking Chinese official visits the city, says Dr. Yi.
In October 2002, Chinese students from several universities, including the
University of Chicago and University of Houston, were offered free
clothing and payment to welcome then-Chinese leader Jiang Zemin during his
trip to Chicago and Houston. In an e-mail to the students, the Friendship
Association of Chinese Students & Scholars described the event as a
serious political task and, according to Voice of America, required all
participants to sign a document forfeiting their First Amendment rights
during the event in an apparent attempt to curb any would-be protesters.
Any one violating the agreement could be fined up to $5,000 dollars, VOA
reported.
The First Secretary of the Office of Tibet in New York City, (Snu) Tendar,
says the CCP has also deployed teams of scholars around the world to
deliver lectures at major universities. Tendar says that using the forum
of scholarly discourse and lectures, these teams have promoted pro-Beijing
ideas, such as classifying the invasion of Tibet as a liberation of the
people from the feudal lords of the Dalai Lama.
At Columbia University, hate literature was found posted in the Asia
Studies building, reiterating word-for-word CCP propaganda against the
Falun Gong group. Campus police quickly disposed of the materials upon
their discovery.
At Yale University, a student running for president of the Association of
Chinese Students & Scholars at Yale (ACSSY) quickly found herself a target
of criticisms attacking her personal beliefs when it became known she
practices Falun Gong. During a public debate on the day before the
election, a member of the audience asked, If you get elected, how are we
going to keep our relations with the Chinese consulate?
Many of the ACSSY activities around campus are sponsored by the New York
Chinese consulate.
Youd think that an Ivy League campus would be free of this sort of
thing, says one graduate student at Columbia University, given the
weight that dialogue, diversity, respect, and tolerance have in our
community. But its pretty clear these arent quite traditions or values
Chinas current leadership subscribes to, and thats why were seeing acts
of hate and intimidation like these happening here, in the U.S., of all
places.
CCP Repression of Falun Gong Throughout U.S.
Outside university campuses, CCP agents or those believed to be working
under their direction, have sought to repress and intimidate practitioners
of Falun Gong, Tibetans and other groups perceived as a threat or vocal
critics of the CCP.
Acting as a volunteer spokesperson for Falun Gong in New York City, Ms.
Gail Rachlin says her apartment has been broken into five times since the
CCP first launched its campaign to eradicate Falun Gong in 1999. In each
break-in, no valuables were stolen. Only my personal phone list
a
rolodex
.things like that, says Rachlin.
On two separate occasions, Dr. Sen Nieh, a professor at Catholic
University of America in Washington D.C and a local Falun Gong
spokesperson, has come home to find private conversations with
friendswhich took place in public venues such as parks or
walkwaysrecorded on his answering machine. The second of the two
instances, reported in the Washington Post on July 20, 2001, was a
conversation he had with other Falun Gong practitioners while standing
outside a Senate building on Capitol Hill immediately after meeting with a
senators staff to brief them on the persecution of Falun Gong.
Obviously, they are trying to send a clear message that they are watching
us at every moment...theyre trying to scare us, says Dr. Nieh.
In January 2003, Hong Lei, a spokesperson for the Chinese consulate in San
Francisco, went on local Chinese television to say that the consulate had
a list of all Falun Gong practitioners in the San Francisco Bay area and
warned them not to go back to China.
Public venues have also come under fire. Hotels in San Francisco and New
York have been contacted by Chinese consular officials or threatened by
unidentified callers, pressuring them not to allow Falun Gong events to be
conducted in their facilities. In November 2004, the National Arts Club in
New York City received several threatening phone calls, including at least
one bomb threat, on the opening night of an art exhibit with works
depicting the Falun Gong practice and the persecution in China.
Several Falun Gong spokespersons have reported receiving death threats.
There has also been actual violence.
In September 2001, two assailants attacked Falun Gong practitioners
conducting a sit-in outside the Chinese consulate in Chicago, beating one
victim to the ground and tearing his clothing. Two of the assailants were
arrested and pled guilty to battery. They were both members of an
organization with very close ties to the Chinese consulate.
In June 2003, a group of assailants attacked several Falun Gong
practitioners as they demonstrated outside a restaurant in New Yorks
Chinatown. The head of a local Chinese community organization, Mr. Guan
Jun Liang, was arrested in connection with the attack. Criminal charges
against Liang, who personally greeted Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao when he
visited New York in 2003, were dropped, but a civil lawsuit against Liang
is in progress.
Falun Gong practitioners have also been physically attacked in San
Francisco, Toronto, and Boston.
The United States Congress passed a concurrent resolution in September
2004, condemning Chinas actions of spying on and harassing Americans who
practice Falun Gong, which listed instances of breaking and entering as
well as assault and battery.
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, 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.

Hao Fengjun Reveals Facts of the â610 Officeâ
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 Melbourneâs 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 Chinaâs notorious 610 Office. He risked his own and
his familyâs 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.
âI 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 â610 Officeâ
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 â610 Office.â (Editorsâ Note: the â610 Officeâ is a
Gestapo-like special security force charged with âeradicatingâ the
practice of Falun Gong, using any means however brutal.) The change
improved the ability of the â610 Officeâ to suppress the meditation
practice Falun Gong. The â610 Officeâ has the power to issue orders to
outside organizations and conduct other organizationsâ investigations.
Although the â610 Officeâ 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.
610ïŒ The Nightmare Begins
The first day that Hao Fengjun stepped into the â610 Officeâ, he knew it
was not the right place for him.
When he joined the â610 Officeâ in October of 2000, there were over 40
people in one office. Hao Fengjunâs boss handed him a thick stack of
records, including details about the supposed crimes of Tianjin Falun Gong
practitioners and the CCPâs guidelines about Falun Gong. Haoâs boss asked
the newly transferred 27-year-old young man to âlearn, study and memorizeâ
the materials in order to build a âsolid foundationâ for future
assignments requiring him to persecute Falun Gong.
âThey tried to brainwash me. It goes on every day,â Hao Fengjun said. âI
was never able to put my heart into it or sit still. I knew the â610
Officeâ 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 didnât 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 â610 Officeâs 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 wasnât happy at home either. The excitement he once felt from solving
cases was replaced with silence and despair.
âIn the â610 Officeâ 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 â610 Officeâ Has a Yearly Arrest Quota
When Hao Fengjun started to work for the â610 Officeâ he was assigned to
the 1st Team. âAs a member of the â610 Officeâ 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, âThe 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 CCPâs monitoring of Falun Gong includes those practitioners who live
in Tianjin. âOver 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.â So Hao
had to arrest, detain and brutally âtransformâ eight or ten Falun Gong
practitioners every day.
Since November 2004 when The Epoch Times published the series of editorial
articles the âNine Commentaries on the Communist Partyâ, the â610 Officeâ
has had additional work.
âThe â610 Officeâ 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 practitionersâ 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 â610 Officeâ is Fake
âSince 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 â610 Officeâ and who finally lost
his job as a police officer. I was demoted to the support staff.â
Hao Fengjun went on: âActually 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 â610 Officeâ (Case 103 by the â610 Officeâ), Hao Fengjun
felt that he could not work there any more. âSun 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 â610 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.
âAt that moment, I felt my heart break.
âI 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: âThatâs 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.â 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 bossâ driver.
âThe CCP said that it treats Falun Gong like âbreeze 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?
âOrdinary people canât 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 âself-immolation incident in Tiananmen Squareâ[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 societyâs ills on Falun Gong.
âThe CCPâs media only broadcasts pictures of very clean and neat labor
camps with policeman treating Falun Gong practitioners humanely. They say
the governmentâs 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 â610â
policemen thought the things Jing Zhanyi said were completely untrue. I
witnessed how the head of our bureau âtaughtâ Mr. Jing what to say before
the interview. He threatened Mr. Jing that if he failed to say what he was
told, Jingâs 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, âThe 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.
âSomeone 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 Howardâs 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 CCPâs incessant brainwashing.
âI 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: âLife 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
âAs a former employee of the CCPâs 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 CCPâs 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 Chinaâs 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.

Chinese Diplomat Step out to Expose Communist Regime at Sydney 6.4 Rally
--- Chinese Communist Party is collapsing from Inside 2 million people quit CCP
June 4, 2005 marks the 16th anniversary of Tiananmen Student Massacre. Australian Democrats,
Greens representatives and human rights groups spoke at the Rally that intends to remember
the pro-democracy students killed on Tiananmen Square and 80 million people killed by the
Chinese Communist Party (CCP) since it came to power, and also to celebrate an anticipation of
collapse of CCP--the last large communist regime in the world today.
One of the feature speakers is a senior Chinese diplomat from the Chinese Consulate in Sydney,
Mr. Chen Yonglin, who made his first public appearance at a June 4th Commemoration rally
since he and his family had left the Chinese Consulate a week ago to defect. Mr. Chen told the
rally that he went to defect for fear of persecution since had become disillusioned and could no
longer support CCP's persecution of democratic group and religious group Falun Gong.
It is learned that, on June 6, 2005 Mr. Chen and his wife Jin Ping also published an open
statement to announce withdrawing from the Chinese Communist Party membership on the
relevant web site provided by Epoch Times: http://tuidang.epochtimes.com/. Currently, an
average of 20,000 people per day are publicly declaring their resignation from the Party or its
affiliate organisations. By June 4, 2005, more than 2 Million people have quit the Chinese
Communist Party.(The book of <<9 Comments on CCP>> can be free read / downloaded from:
http://www.theepochtimes.com/jiuping.asp)
Ms. Zhao from "June 4 rally organizing committee" of "Free China" praised Mr. Chen for his
courage to speak out the truth and refuse to continue carrying out the persecution and terrorism
policy of CCP. "Mr. Chen's defect is just a small corner of the iceberg, showing that Chinese
Communist regime is collapsing from the inside. Mr. Chen is just one out of millions of Chinese
people, including high-ranking officials and diplomats who disagree with the persecution and
mistreatments of its own people by CCP and choose to leave it. " Ms. Zhao said, "We hope
Australian government could provide protection to Mr. Chen and his family as we have promised
to support human rights. " Ms. Zhao commented, "More importantly, we ask for Australian
government and people to support Chinese people's efforts for real freedom and better future
without CCP. There won't be real safety and freedom for Mr. Chen and all the Chinese people
without the collapse of CCP."
The recent flood of departures has been attributed to an exclusive report by The Epoch Times
called the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party. Published in over 30 countries, the
extraordinary report reveals the CCP's mass public deception, the untold killings and the
CCP's pursuit to destroy traditional culture.
An marking difference of this 16th's anniversary from previous ones is that this year, disappointed
Chinese people stop begging CCP for change or mercy, and instead, realizing the terrorism
nature and hopelessness of CCP, Chinese people choose to farewell to CCP and look for real
freedom and better future to China without CCP. Being the greatest freedom movement since
1989, the large-scale withdrawal from CCP and the anticipation of the collapse of the Communist
in China have marked the significant difference of this 16th anniversary, an event that would be
even more significant than the 1989 fall of the Berlin Wall.
Senior Chinese diplomat Chen Yonglin (C), 37, received interview and showed his consulate
working ID during a rally marking the Tiananmen Square massacre anniversary, in Sydney, 04
June 2005. (Epoch Times)
Background:
On June 4, 2005, the 16th anniversary of Tiananmen Student Massacre, Mr. Chen Yonglin, a
former 1st Secretary and Consul for Political Affairs, after defecting from Chinese Consulate a
week ago for fear of persecution due to his sympathy with Falun Gong group and democratic
group, made his public appearance at a rally marking the Tiananmen student massacre and
support freedom of Chinese people, that was organized by "Free China" along with other
human rights groups. Mr. Chen told the media that he would be persecuted if returned to
Beijing and hoped that the Australian Government would help to protect him.
Mr. Chen said that he had met with officials of the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs (DFAT)
on four days ago but that they had refused him political asylum, and told him to apply for a
refugee protection visa instead.
Mr. Chen told the media that the CCP has "thousands" of secret agents in Australia who monitor
and report on political dissidents and Falun Gong practitioners, and try to interfere with their
activities in Australia. He said this is normal policy for the Chinese Government. Mr. Chen
promised to reveal to Australians "everything I know" about threats by Chinese agents to the
Australian society and its people". According to Mr. Chen, he had details of several kidnappings
of Chinese defectors or dissidents from Australia, and said that two of them had been sentenced
to death in China. Mr. Chen said that he feared that the same thing would happen to him if he
and his family were not given asylum.
