Australian Prime Minister Calls Chinese Spy Plot ‘Deeply Disturbing’

Australia’s top spy agency is investigating reports that the Chinese regime tried to install an agent in the country’s legislature

===================================
........."Reports about China’s alleged meddling in Australia’s domestic affairs detailed how a suspected Chinese espionage ring had offered “a seven-figure sum” to Melbourne luxury car dealer Bo “Nick” Zhao to run for a seat in Australia’s federal Parliament. Zhao was found dead in March in a Melbourne motel room and police were unable to conclude how he died.

“I find the allegations deeply disturbing and troubling,” Prime Minister Scott Morrison told reporters in Canberra, adding that the government had bolstered......
.....
"The allegations came just a day after a man claiming to be a Chinese military intelligence agent defected to Australia and presented troves of material to ASIO. In an earlier interview with The Epoch Times, 27-year-old Wang Liqiang described how he had become disillusioned by the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) totalitarian agenda, leading to his defection.

Gee, I wonder what the Chinese agent who defected to Aus over this last weekend is also telling them? Make no mistake, As China advances economically and technologically, its spy services are keeping pace: Their intelligence officers are more sophisticated, the tools at their disposal are more powerful, and they are engaged in what appears to be an intensifying array of espionage operations that have their Western counterparts on the defensive. How to steal that ball & go back on offense is vexing. China is even using LinkedIn to recruit & co-opt the common citizen who will be of value when strung together with others forming a “ projected network”..

No post-mortem?

I would not be surprised if progressive elements in western governments are complicit and/or at least turning a blind eye to some of this.

People laugh when it's posited that China is at war with us with the long game of global domination. "China is just a huge business opportunity and market" will be famous last words.

Did anybody spot Hillary in Australia at that time?

The key to enforcement is to punish the violator, not an inanimate object. The punishment of inanimate objects for the commission of a crime or carelessness is an affront to stupidity.
