The Australia intelligence discovered the economic agent of North Korea activates at the Down Under has arrested. The news released by the most television networks about Mr. Chan Han Choi, 59 years old who has become the first person to be charged under Australia’s Weapon of Mass Destruction Act.
It is incredible the South Korea man who born in Sydney (New South Wales) but links to North Korea. The intelligence wants to know the motive that causes the South Koran’s background and born in Australia who becomes the undercover activist for the rogue regime. How long did Mr. Choi work for North Korea? The Australian Federal Police Assistant Commissioner Neil Gaughan said:
“We believe this man participated in discussions about the sale of missile componentry from North Korea to other entities abroad as another attempt to try and raise revenue for the government in North Korea” and he concerned:” Through the actions of this man and the evidence we will put before the court, the AFP will be saying this man was a loyal agent of North Korea.”
Mr. Chan Han Choi also breaches the international and domestic sanctions against North Korea, that North Korea’s economic agent will face the serious criminal charges. From a quarter century, North Korea has threatened the massive destructions to the US and allies including Australia but Mr. Choi trying to sell the missile’s technology and selling the North Korea’s coal to Vietnam and Indonesia. After the Australian police arrested the economic agent of North Korea, the neighbors surprise, they think Mr. Chan Han Choi is a nice and elegant man. Therefore, as the routine, mostly the espionage agent always pretends to be the nice face so the innocent people have no attention.
The North Korea’s undercover activist arrested that warns the intelligence about the spy networks from the other communist countries have been activated abroad. The spy networks and agents appear in multiple forms as double agents, cyberspy, undercover activity, infiltrate the government…actually, the economic agents or financial espionage agents often hide under the business covers, companies.
The espionage fields opening widely and flexible to the important targets as politician, parliament, defense and the others. The evidence of political donation carried out by a Chinese businessman Huang Xiangmo who collected the classified info that provided by Senator Sam Dastyari only cost $AUD 1,600 airfare.
The economic agent of North Korea that awakens the Western countries, as the similarity concerns the offshore Vietnamese community, the economic networks have presented to the Vietnamese community, actually, the Vietnamese refugees who related to the business with Hanoi regime and sometimes, the Vietcong’s foreign ministry sent the officials to meet the Vietnamese business association and collected the money under the title of charity or contribution for the country. Nevertheless, the economic agents favor the drug trafficker, cannabis plantation, money laundering and transferred money between the Vietnamese overseas and relatives in Vietnam. There is no doubt the drug trafficker linking to Hanoi regime because the drug trafficker passed over Vietnam airport and arrested in Australia or the other countries. Moreover, the Vietnamese offices of the most immigrant services link the Vietnam embassy because the job requires the collaboration with Hanoi regime and Vietcong could deploy the espionage hand by using the Vietnamese refugee. The immigration services offices should exploit the loopholes in immigration law and the Vietcong agents plus family easily migrated to the Western countries, the most common cases are fake marriage (*). The Buddha temples sponsored the Monks and Nun who graduated from the Vietcong’s intelligence training center, they should be the espionage agents infiltrated under the religious cover. The most Buddha temples of Vietnamese overseas relate the Ấn Quang Temple (the den of Vietcong undercover agents of the Vietnam war in South Vietnam before 1975) and the Buddha temples evade the tax because the donation paid by cash in the box names Phước Sương places at the Buddha’s alar room. There is not only some ethnic have the economic agents but the most communist regimes should deploy the money line and illegal trade in the Western countries.
The case of Mr. Chan Han Choi alerts the security of the adopted country and also in South Korea, there are the so-called opponents often rally against the government being deployed the military equipment to respond the threat of North Korea. The protestors should be the undercover activists of North Korea. The bloody lesson in Vietnam War while the government was fighting and protecting the country, there was the peace movement and Vietcong’s undercover agents hidden in the Buddha temple and Catholic church protested against the government. After Vietcong claimed the unpredictable victory on April 30, 1975, the Vietcong undercover activists appeared as Venerable Thích Trí Quang, Thích Quảng Độ, Thích Minh Châu…and Catholic has Priest Chân Tín, Nguyễn Ngọc Lan, Phan Khăc Từ…The South Korea intelligence warns that the North Korea’s espionage agents have been activated on their soil.
China, Vietnam, and North Korea are comrades, the vestige of communist still remains after the Soviet Union and the Eastern Europe Communist Bloc collapsed. The communist regimes favor on the espionage networks and an economic agent is a form of spy in the shadow.
(*) Notes: the writer is a Vietnamese refugee, a survivor after 6 years imprisoned in the re-education camp. I came to Australia in 1983 and never returned to where I escaped for freedom. I tried to sponsor my mother twice to visit Australia but Vietcong regime did not grant the Visa. Therefore, every year, there are about 800,000 Vietnamese refugees returned safely, even someone did the good business in Vietnam. On January 14, 2016, my 88 years old mother passed away, but I couldn’t attend her funeral in Vietnam.
