[La Gran Época 3 de diciembre de 2020](Epoch Times journalist Tian Rui, Sydney, Australia) The Australian Office of National Intelligence (ONI) issued a warning to the federal government that many Chinese-language media outlets in Australia have been secretly controlled by the CCP and have been become the CCP. Intervene in Australia and exert part of your influence.
The office made a secret report to the government a few days ago. The report highlighted that popular WeChat news sites read by Chinese Australians are completely controlled and censored by the CCP, and some official WeChat accounts are even managed directly by the CCP.
According to the Sydney Morning Herald, an unidentified official source confirmed that Australia’s National Intelligence Bureau analyzed the content of 14 Chinese online news websites and 10 popular WeChat websites in the past 20 months, and verified the ownership behind. of these news websites. Structure and its link with the CCP.
The Intelligence Office Open Source Center is responsible for collecting, interpreting and disseminating non-confidential materials of political, strategic or economic importance to Australia. The agency’s analysis found that Australia’s most popular Chinese-language online news portals are all pro-communist. They have varying degrees of relationship with the Communist Party of China through the China News Agency of the United Front Labor Department.
For example, the online media platform Southeast Net Australia (Southeast Net Australia) is fully and publicly controlled by the CCP.
The sources said that two outlets may be under the jurisdiction of the United Front Labor Department of the Communist Party of China. These two media are Melbourne Australia Ocean Media Group, which publishes news through the public WeChat account “Australia.com” (au123), and Nanhai Culture Media Group, which publishes news through the public WeSydney account.
“Micro Sydney”, which has 400,000 subscribers, is registered under a company name of China News Service, which is affiliated with the United Front Department of Labor.
Nanhai Media also published the Chinese version of “Qantas Inflight Magazine” and “City Walker” (City Walker) and celebrated a New Year and a Lantern Festival each year in the Sydney Chinese community, inviting Australian political figures to participate.
The National Intelligence Bureau’s assessment also found that a news website related to the WeChat public account “Sydney Today” is run by a media-related person from the United Front Labor Department of the Communist Party of China; the Sydney Media Group, which belongs to the other public WeChat account, ABC Media, has one that works like Hunan. The entrepreneurs of the CPPCC consultants are responsible for the operation. The official account has nothing to do with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation of the same name.
A source in Canberra who is aware of the Intelligence Office report said that more than two-thirds of the online news sites evaluated have high-level employees associated with organizations believed to be interfering in Australia on behalf of the CCP. Or exert influence. Some publishers and media owners are members of the United Front Labor Department of the Communist Party of China. Even the seemingly independent Chinese media have been affected by the CCP due to employee selection and content sharing agreements.
In-depth analysis by the intelligence bureau concluded that the CCP’s influence on the Australian Chinese media is very serious and out of control.
China expert John Fitzgerald told the Sydney Morning Herald: “Foreign governments generally do not directly fund or interfere with community media in Australia. China (the whole) is a prominent exception. Chinese Australians are fully capable Identify true news and false, but the problem is that the Chinese (communist) government is more interested in not creating fake news, but in censoring the real news and silencing it. “
Australian Prime Minister Morrison also recently tested the CCP’s WeChat censorship.
A few days ago, the spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Communist Party of China, Zhao Lijian, published a composite image insulting Australian soldiers on his official Twitter account, which was denounced by Australian Prime Minister Morrison as a “fake photo “and asked the CCP to apologize and delete it.
Later, Morrison posted an open letter to the Chinese on his official WeChat account, stating that the confusion of Zhao Lijian’s “fake photos” on Twitter would not affect the respect of Chinese in Australian society. But this open letter was deleted by micro-envelopes just one day after its publication.
After The Epoch Times published the news that Morrison’s open letter was banned, a Twitter netizen left a message that read, “Since WeChat users have been in charge of the Australian Prime Minister for so long, why did Australia just not ban WeChat? “
Some netizens left a message saying: “TikTok WeChat must be banned in a free country.” “Isn’t it bold to ban WeChat?”
Currently, the US presidential order to block WeChat has gone into effect. #
