  • For the first time ever, a former spy for China’s notorious secret police - one of the most powerful arms of the country’s intelligence apparatus - goes public, exposing the covert and illegal operations he was ordered to carry out on foreign soil and the dissidents he was tasked with tracking, including in Australia, Canada, India, Cambodia and Thailand.
    In a major investigation reported by the ABC’s Echo Hui, the spy - who goes by the name Eric - comes out of the shadows at great danger to himself, revealing his face to expose how China has used its global network over the last two decades to surveil, silence and kidnap those its government and president Xi Jinping deems enemies of the state.
    The spy divulges his double life and the secrets he’s been guarding. He reveals the inner workings of the secret police, including the companies they use as cover, who his targets were, and the tactics he used to hunt them down.
    It raises tough questions about China’s global reach and Australia’s national security.

    Great job ABC! It's important that stories like this be told. And to those in the comments who are saying "what's the big deal? All countries do this. What's the difference between this and what the CIA does?" the key difference is that the CCP has VERY different ideas of what a "crime" is than most of the rest of the world. Political opposition/criticism and political cartooning are not crimes in democracies.
