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.
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.

You are confusing the Hungarian Revolt in '56 with the Winter War in '39.
Why don’t you quote that whole paragraph:
I gave you the link, my guy. I assumed you knew how to click it.
You were wrong and doubled-down. You should read the things you link my guy.
Uh… any link on that? I’m not finding this reference anywhere.

The article isn’t clear as to what precipitated the brawl

The individual was part of a crowd attempting to harass individuals within the embassy, not someone police snatched off the street at random.
Bob appears to have tried to drag off a member of the consult in the act of tearing down signs, only to be pulled inside himself in a tug of war with the consulate staff.
Nothing about this looks peaceful.
