HONG KONG - Former Chinese Communist Party (CCP) diplomat Chen Yonglin has been seeking asylum in Australia since exposing the CCP’s huge overseas spy network. Hong Kong democracy activist Mr. Liu Yucheng confirms that the CCP does indeed operate such extensive spy networks, especially in Hong Kong.
Mr Liu and his family have suffered many types of harassment and persecution from the CCP’s spies. His wife was harassed for six months straight by the CCP’s spies from Guangdong province. She suffered so intensely under this treatment that she became depressed and eventually died
Liu says that these spies are controlled by many different departments of the CCP. They collect different information, conduct acts of persecution and incitement to split apart political organizations in Hong Kong, as well as monitor friendly (non-political) organizations. In addition, according to one of his friends who worked in the CCP's Ministry of Public Security, there aren’t a lot of spies who are dispatched directly from Mainland China. The majority are people from overseas and Hong Kong-Macao that are bribed, enticed and coerced into joining the intelligence information system.
Closely Examining the Persecution Tactics Committed by the CCP’s Special Agents
Mr. Liu started on the path of democracy after participating in the April 5th Movement in Tiananmen Square in 1976. He was a follower of Mr. Wang Bingzhang, a well-known pro- democratic public figure, and thus became a target in the eyes of the CCP. After coming to Hong Kong in 1985, he has been continuously harassed by the CCP’s spies.
Liu describes some of the methods the spies use to persecute their targets:
Following and stalking: Every time a sensitive event was approaching, for example, former chairman of the Military Commission of the Central Committee Jiang Zemin visited Hong Kong, Liu would be followed. Other members of his group also found themselves being stalked. [Liu] said that there were times when he was at home, he would come downstairs only to find two suspicious men lurking in his doorway. Upon seeing him they would run and hide in their car.
Direct kidnapping (including secret arrests): Mr. Wang Bingzhang was kidnapped in Vietnam and then taken to China. Such abduction is routine behaviour for the CCP’s spies.
The Chinese spies attempted to abduct Liu while he was on a business trip in Tianjin city in 1992. When he arrived in Tianjin, he was fortunate to be staying at one of his friends' houses, rather than staying in a hotel. His friend was from Hong Kong and his wife worked for the National Security Bureau in Tianjin. When she first saw Liu upon returning from work one day, she immediately told him to leave.
Liu relates, “She said that she saw the order to arrest me in her office. It said that I had arrived in Tianjin and they needed to monitor me. In addition, two bureaus- the Security Bureau and the Public Security Bureau- were after me.”
Later, his friends helped him escape from Tianjin to Beijing, whence he went abroad.
Intimidating and threatening partners: On one occasion, Liu as a sales agent was in Shanghai doing business for an air conditioning company. After talking with several factories, he narrowed his efforts down to two promising candidates. After the business deal panned out, he went back to Hong Kong. He then received phone calls from the owners of these two factories expressing their intentions to pull out of the deal.
When he questioned them about their sudden change of heart, he found out that after he had left, the Public Security Bureau of Shanghai had called the two owners and informed them that Mr. Liu Yucheng had problems and advised them not to conduct any business with him or they should bear any costs associated with Liu’s business. As a result of this character assassination Liu was unable to stay in that line of work.
Threatening family members: In 1998, the CCP arranged for a woman from Guangdong to relentlessly harass his wife at work, and kept up this pressure for over half a year. Liu’s wife did not give in to these attempts to divert her and as a result she was fired from her job. Shortly after being fired she became deeply depressed and passed away thereafter
According to Liu, the woman was pretty much the same age as his wife. When she came to work at his wife’s workplace, she didn’t even ask to be paid. Initially, she was very warm and friendly and made every effort to befriend his wife. Slowly, she began to encourage his wife to make attempts at changing her husband. Mrs. Liu steadfastly refused.
Liu said, “She (the agent) wanted to come to our home, but I didn’t allow it. However, she knew our exact family situation. Even down to specific details such as where a window was broken in our home, and where the toothbrush was placed in the washroom, she knew.”
That agent said that she would be returning to Mainland China in half a year, so she asked Mrs. Liu to “allow her to be able to go back and report her accomplishments.” She asked her to try to make Liu Yucheng write a written pledge to withdraw from democratic movement organizations. When Mrs. Liu refused to do this she was fired from her job.
Liu sighed as he said, “The methods of the CCP are ruthless. Strangling you financially and [getting to you] through the ones you love (family), until you submit to it.”
The CCP Recruits Great Numbers of Special Agents Overseas
According to Mr. Liu, the CCP has several hundred thousand agents in Hong Kong, infiltrating every level of society. These people are controlled by many different intelligence departments and bureaus of the CCP, collecting different data and information.
A friend of Mr. Liu once worked for the Ministry of Public Security, and was a former instructor at the China People's Public Security University. According to him, the majority of the spies are people from all levels of overseas society who have been enticed into spy work with bribery. This includes some political organizations that have been recruited into the CCP’s intelligence gathering network.
Liu points out, “Helping you to do business, to make money, the CCP will give you some business for free. This way you won’t need to use any capital to do your business. These people all would be recruited into the intelligence gathering network in the end. The numbers of these people outside of China entering the CCP’s spy network is very large.”
These special agents collect “hostile" information regarding political groups. Even relatively “friendly” organizations are routinely reported and monitored.
According to Liu, some democratic advocates in Hong Kong, although they appear to preach about democracy on the surface, in reality they are double agents working for the CCP’s spy network. The CCP has regulations governing these agents. They are not allowed to directly criticize the CCP or take action against the CCP.
Liu said, “If they do and go too far, then the CCP will not let them work as a spy anymore”.
Therefore, “Anti-CCP” can be used to testify whether people are spies or not.
Spy Defection is an Indication of the Collapse of the CCP
According to Liu, working as a spy is very painful work. It requires you to pay the price of your conscience. He politely urges the people who have directly or indirectly sold themselves to the CCP, before doing their work, to seriously consult their consciences and consider the well being of their families. At the critical historical moment that more than two and half million Chinese have withdrawn from the CCP, reconsider yourselves, escape from the clutches of the CCP with actual deeds, and thoroughly reform yourselves.
He gives the case of Cheng Yonglin as a good example of this possibility for individual change of heart. He divided the effects of the “Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party” into three stages. On the first stage, people recognize and study the "Nine Commentaries." People who have been persecuted by the CCP will clearly see the true nature of the CCP that is comprehensively and systematically revealed by the "Nine Commentaries."
The second stage is to take the action of saying farewell to the CCP. This includes one million of people who withdrew from the CCP. The third stage indicates that the CCP is rushing towards its own demise. He says, we are currently in the second stage- the internal collapse within the CCP. As more CCP’s spies and high level officials stand up, like Cheng Yonglin’s open withdrawal from the CCP, then that will mark the start of the third stage- the beginning of the destruction of the CCP.
