- 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.

Not only Australia.....all over the world !

Great work ABC 🎉 hopefully this video will be promoted on the Chinese ABC newsletter too. The Chinese who live in Australia deserve to know the truth too.
Also in the Philippines....
I find this no surprise at all but thankyou for bringing it out.
Why I am not that surprised!
These guys are very brave
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.
Not suprised Here also in the Philippines and they want to took our land also.
Just tip of the iceberg.
It's quality work like this that the ABC is most famous for. The stories other news outlets don't dare run !
They’ve been doing this all over the Philippines 🇵🇭 too. And they’ve also had a growing presence in Canada 🇨🇦.
wow only now they have noticed. this has been going on for a long long time
Please share this video with all that you know.
Now the whole world will know the dark side of China
Everyone knows, they just don't care, or worse, they wish they could do the same...
So fascinating that this is the first time I’ve seen a person who has been able to do this
What an absolutely outstanding and also damning story by the ABC! Well done to Echo Hui for the work she’s put into this, and also to Eric for bravely risking his life for freedom and liberty!
make it viral pls
A Chinese Spy walks into ASIO
As a Chinese in Australia, I'm very shocked.
I would like to know what the Chinese people think about this?
Mind blowing
not surprised but thank you for the insight.
Thank you for this inspiring journalism. Its truly amazing.
Insightful
China is too good a customer for Australia to take any action on this.
Absolutely epic report! Or dare I say, absolutely Eric report!
also here in the Philippines
Mortifying and not bloody surprising whatsoever !!
Im not surprised at all. From New Zealand
This is such a bad image for Australia due to failure of resolving and helping these victims. I used to think Australians are wild and strong...perhaps not in these important areas
Also in philippines
Great video.
Take care and be strong , praying for you all .
Not surprised...
World need to wake up
KNEW IT!!
Also in the Japan….
The Meth Highway episode recently released was brilliant. If anyone knows who that journalist was I am very interested to know
Shared.
Thanks for sharing.
It would be hard to be a spy and not keep it a secret. lol
He choose to reveal all of these for his own safety, else he might still carry out such activities.
fire investigation
I'm proud of ABC. Not even Australian…
Wow. Amazing exposure for something everyone knows. .
Also in Philippines
Wow, what a surprise! 🙌
Better late than never I guess...
Not surprised !

How is this different from CIA and MI6?
His wife literally saved Rebel Pepper's life.

Not sure why everyone here is upset. It's not like every other country isn't doing the same. Oh wait.
Will you please add subtitles to this episode?
very Informative
Can ABC also do a report on Australian, Americans, UK spies? thanks
I'm almost impressed the ABC covered this. Good work.
