May 12, 2017

Beijing has been actively spying on Australia and trying to control the Chinese community and media in the country, according to Australia’s outgoing secretary of the Department of Defence. “It is no secret that China is very active in intelligence activities directed against us. It is more than cyber” retiring Secretary of the Defence Department Dennis Richardson said in an address on Friday. Richardson has also served as Australian Security Intelligence Organization (ASIO) chief, Washington Ambassador and Foreign Affairs head.“The Chinese Government keeps a watchful eye inside Australian Chinese communities and effectively controls some Chinese language media in Australia,” according to the official, cited by ABC.
