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.

Sounds awful. Enjoy your Australian prison.
And you enjoy your Chinese internment camp, maybe your organs will fetch a nice price for the apparatchik.
Or maybe westerners will look and point drunkenly at your plasticized, dissected body for entertainment.
The Chinese of Atlanta Georgia?
The one I saw was in Las Vegas but every single body was Chinese.
The reality is I’d rather sit in a Aussie prison in 46/115 heat than in a Chinese prison at a nice balmy 25/77.
Do you think the Chinese prison system is a better place than the Australian prison system?
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.
