A second Chinese defector has claimed Beijing is running a large spy network in Australia and other Western countries, including the United States, following a similar allegation by a high-ranking Chinese diplomat seeking asylum.
The diplomat, Chen Yonglin, the first secretary at the Chinese Consulate-General in Sydney, left his post last month. Chen claimed China had 1,000 spies in Australia involved in illegal activities, including abducting Chinese nationals and smuggling them back to China.
The Chinese Foreign Ministry has dismissed Chen's claims and said he defected because he wanted to immigrate to Australia with his family.
But a second Chinese official seeking asylum here, Hao Fengjun, 32, backed Chen's claim of a Chinese spy network in Australia in an interview with Australian Broadcasting Corp. television late Tuesday.

Aside from all the "Made in China" goods that have flooded the US, now we must contend with "Made in China" spies. Wondering how many of these are out and about in our "trade with Red China-deficit" country?
I am shocked..........
There are enough of them that the fbi told companies they need their help, and to keep an eye out and report.
Spying is what China does best. Read Sun Tsu !
Remember Clintoon's "association" with China. Yep, he sold us out during his administration. Plus, I wonder if former WA Gov. Gary Locke (who billed himself as the first Chinese governor in the US and within just a few months of taking office traveled to China) is a spy?
Universities as well. They number in the 6 figure range here in the US - all they want is one small piece of info each. Then they go home, and the authorities piece it all together.
Ditto, but I'm afraid we've put looking for the Chinese spies on the back burner since the War on Terrorism began.
Personally I abhor the "inbalance" in the trade accounts, everything in every store screams "Made in China" and it is now, with this latest reminder of the Chinese spy networks working away at us too is getting under my skin.
We've got one too. This should be no surprise.
"Yep, he sold us out during his administration."
Ain't it amazing, what $600,000.00 will buy, when you're dealing with high-falutin' trailer trash?
US Govt for sale to the highest Bidder!! Time to replace these professional "Politicians" with Common Folk, I say. People from the unemployment line. Godfearing, hardworking stiffs who will defend the US Constitution and our borders. People we know, favorite sons and daughters - no party affiliation!! Dump them all Repubs who ahva a majority and are selling us out and the Progressive Democrats who have been undermining the US Constitution. The EU is crumbling, and falling into the Socialist morass they have created, the same place the Dems want to lead us!! FIRE THEM ALL!! Change the Oil in Congress!!

I am filing this under "No sh*t, Sherlock."
What? The US has a spy network in the US?
SHOCKED to the CORE, I am.
Yep. LOL. Couldn't have put it better myself.
Until there is serious political shift in China, I think that no one should let down their guard around them. I am reminded of the glower that some of the Indian students here have on their faces when Chinese nationals pass them on campus. I asked an Indian co-worker if he knew the Chinese couple at whom he was staring intenly. He replied, "No, but I do not need to know them to know not to trust them." I have met students from many of the countries that neighbour China and none of these students trusted China any further than they could throw it.
I always wonder how come all those Chinese Restarants have only Chinese working there.
With this information I say to myself WWDD, What would Dale Do from King of the Hill about the Chinese spies.
Yes, China got screwed like any other group of people in History. My remarks are in refernce to the PRC. If the government changes and their is shift in attitudes, then I welcome partnership with China.
Also, some of the countries that do not trust China are those that had not part in the Spheres of Influence games of the late 19th and early 20th Century. Vietnam, Lao, Cambodia, the Philippines, India, etc. are damned jittery where China is concerned.
