Chinese Australians warn of sleeper agents
The Australian government has offered a range of special visa arrangements for Hong Kong Chinese, which could lead to permanent Australian residency.
Security experts warn that Beijing could use the opportunity to plant sleeper agents in Australia, while the sons and daughters of senior CCP officials studying in Australia could also seek a path to permanent residency. Family members of at least two senior Hong Kong government officials — Education Secretary Yeung Yun-hung, whose department is mandating new pro-China textbooks, and pro-Beijing politician Tam Yiu-chung — are living in Australia.
Hong Kong migrants to Australia also fear the families of Hong Kong police members could seek Australian residency, despite the character and security check by immigration department. Failure in detecting CCP agents can result in serious costs.
While such concerns should not be the excuse to deny entry for Hong Kong immigrants, the Australian government needs to be judicious about it, said a Liberal MP.
