Confucian appeared from 551-479 BC and became the social rein of Chinese. The Confucianism has influenced throughout the Chinese history, from many dynasties to social pattern. Most of Chinese are very proud of the great master’s brilliant ideas, so they framed it as the Confucian’s thoughts and didn’t want to accept any others. Several thousand years have passed and Chinese people didn’t have any breakthrough invention except gun powder because their mind are oriented by the Confucianism. Chinese people have woken up when the last dynasty of Qing shattered under the invasion of European. Following the Cheng Kai Sheik government was wiped out since 1949 then the mainland china has been ruled by the communist regime, an innovation dynasty. The ambition to become the number one global superpower plus the traditional invasion strategy which excites China communist regime involving in the arms race and economy growth. However, Chinese technology is still far behind the western countries, and to overcome this disadvantage they have to take shortcuts by stealing the western technology. To achieve this purpose they have to manage a spy network, cyber hacking, bribery, penetrate into the most important firms of counterparts even using the Beauty Trap that proposed by the Chinese ancient Sun Tzu (544-496 BC) who proposed the Thirty-Six Stratagems. The China’s espionage network uses gorgeous agents for overseas mission. In Australia, Defence Minister Joel Andrew Fitzgibbon served under the first stage of Prime Minister Kevin Rudd. However, Mr. Fitzgibbon had to resign on June 4, 2009 after the Australian security agency discovered the defence minister having a relationship with a Chinese business woman Helen Liu who linked with China’s military intelligence agency.
Recently in Canberra, ASIO raided a home of the former Australian Diplomat Roger Uren, high-ranking intelligence officer, he held the Assistant Secretary for Asia section, actually his espouse Sheri Yan was arrested by FBI in New York in October 2015 when she tried to bribe a senior United Nation official. Moreover, Miss Sheri Yan who deeply involved in the operations for China Communist Party.
The Beauty Trap of Stratagem has been flexibly applied offshore, the innocent politicians, officials could fall into the trap and ruin their career. The intelligence agencies may eye on the high profiles as President, Prime Minister, Minister, the high ranking officials having the Chinese family members linked with the communist party. Especially, women come from the hub of China communist regime, Australia national security precaution has to be taken.
The threat of China’s spy is real in the western countries, Australia is the target of Beijing. A former Chinese diplomat Chen Yonglin, first Secretary of the Chinese Consulate General in Sydney, who defected on July 8, 2005, and applied for the political refugee. He revealed that China has deployed a network with 1,000 spies operating in Australia. Nowadays, after more than a decade, China’s spy network could have been added up.
The spy network could have multiple faces, the Chinese community uses its language could avoid the counter-intelligence. Even the universities in the populous states as Sydney (New South Wales), Melbourne (Victoria) with more than 900,000 students from mainland China and the Chinese high level lecturers could be aware of the espionage activity. The Chinese academics and students propagate the communism in the universities, poison the Australian young generations.
The Chinese businesses are the keen spy facilities, in the US presidential election 1992 and 1996, the Presidential candidates Bill Clinton and Al Gore received the money from the Chinese businessmen, so the elected President and Vice President deserved the interest for China. After the election 1996, former President Bill Clinton wanted to sell the high technology GPS (Global Positioning System) for China, but the Congress stopped that deal. The Climate Change curbs the product of U.S and western countries, but China doesn’t obligate, nevertheless the Solar Power helped China makes the profit, so former President Bill Clinton and Barrack Obama served for China interest.
The economic spy operates under the business cover that raises the grave concern for the western countries. In Australia, ASIO warns about China business donated to the political parties. The ABC News published an article by the political editor Chris Uhlmann on August 22, 2016: “the Australian business with close ties to China donated $5.5 million to political parties”. The article was written, “Businesses with Chinese connections gave Australia’s major parties more than $5.5 million between 2013 and 2015, making them easily the largest source of foreign-linked donations”.
On May 6, 2017, Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull warns about the China business donated to political parties and ASIO also raise the concern. The China spy network presents worldwide, the quiet Army operates everywhere. Actually, western countries have to be on high alert.
