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.
“Escort back to China” sure is a weird way of saying they kidnapped her.
Can’t speak for Australians, but as a Canadian who expects that the same could happen here - why the fuck are our governments so apathetic about this shit?.
Stand up for the people trusting you. Be MAD. Stop doing it if you’re also doing it.
In the UK there was a peaceful protester and the Chinese dragged him into the embassy grounds and beat him in front of the public. They have diplomatic immunity.
Nothing was done obviously.
No wonder China and Russia shit over us and act like we are weak. We are. We proved it multiple times.
Fuck the West is shadow of what it once was.
I think this is what molotov cocktails were made for.
Might want to look up the etymology. Molotovs tended to be aimed at Western partisans.
The name originally comes from Finland and the Winter War, where they were used against soviet tanks.
As a result, the Finns sarcastically dubbed the Soviet incendiary cluster bombs “Molotov bread baskets”

You are confusing the Hungarian Revolt in '56 with the Winter War in '39.
Why don’t you quote that whole paragraph:
The name’s origin came from the propaganda Molotov produced during the Winter War, mainly his declaration on Soviet state radio that incendiary bombing missions over Finland were actually “airborne humanitarian food deliveries” for their “starving” neighbours.[13][10][better source needed] As a result, the Finns sarcastically dubbed the Soviet incendiary cluster bombs “Molotov bread baskets” (Finnish: Molotovin leipäkori) in reference to Molotov’s propaganda broadcasts.[14][10] When the hand-held bottle firebomb was developed to attack and destroy Soviet tanks, the Finns called it the “Molotov cocktail”, as “a drink to go with his food parcels”.[15][16]
I gave you the link, my guy. I assumed you knew how to click it.
Ok so now we will not allow Chinese police into Australia right?
insert Anakin and Padme meme
I can’t see how anyone involved with allowing this isn’t complicit.
What possible reason did the police of a foreign nation need to be physically there for, other than physically removing someone?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”.
the level of reading comprehension, the number of assumptions kids make these days - its fucking horrifying, innit
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?
Kinda glad where I live there’s absolutely no way our government would allow CCP police to reach me. (unless the CCP police goes undercover and kidnaps me)
Sure about it?
If they talk about the USA - then yes. Not because the government loves its citizens and respects their rights - simply because it hates China.
Still If there’s someone they need in china they would probably trade you over
They do it because they can and there are no consequences, it’s not the wolf’s fault for eating the sheep, its the shepherd who left the door open.
I am not supplies
