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.

    News flash they do this shit everywhere.

    Because the world runs on money.

    China has lots of moneys.

    Say what you will about conspiracy nuts, but the idea of a world government is very very real and has been for a long time. It’s always been about the money.

    Edit: Yall can downvote brigade me until the cows come home and you’re blue in the face (not to mention multi-account abuse for downvoting being arguably worse on a fedinet instance) - the fact is, the chinese have mini-govt buildings setup all around the world. This case isn’t the first, nor will it be the last. Mald harder.

      Woa, buddy.

      Among the myriad ways to tell that there is no world government… if there was a single world government, money would be irrelevant to situations like this - there would be no issue to smooth over because no-one’s sovereignty would have been violated.

        Explain why you think my theory of the world running on money is far from the truth.

          It’s far from the truth to assume there’s one cohesive government entity that collaborates and communicates well enough to do something like this, and to assume not a single person associated has decided to be a whistle blower.

          Edit: a word

            Not the same commenter but still, nevertheless, interested in the convo ofc

            It may not be an explicit government, but that’s why I specifically said in my retort “the world runs on money”.

                They are talking about you. Their first reply was to someone else but the second was for you.

                  That was a very unconventional way of phrasing that.

                … so either you’re on alts or have such a lack of self awareness that you don’t even recognize what you did.

                Either way I think we’re done here lol

                Not at all, some concepts are harder for some. Some grow up in environments that make learning ugly, alienating, etc. I do want to ask - would you catch flies better with vinegar or with honey? Or are you more interested in squashing?

      Yes, it’s called Star Trek and many of us want a future like that.

      why is everyone so retarded about this? there are ACTUAL ATTEMPTS AT WORLD GOVERNMENT - the UN for example - and there are actual think tanks publishing actual documents with this as the goal, publicly available, which are funded by government, yet people just start screeching whenever it gets brought up. You guys do realize it’s possible to actually know stuff, right? fuck.
