Former Hong Kong lawmaker Xu Zhifeng, who is wanted in Hong Kong, said on Monday he had arrived in Australia from Britain to lobby the Australian government to take a tougher stance against Beijing. In addition, the Chinese Communist Party‘s minister to Australia, who last month insulted Australians, continues to fester in the Australian community.
Former Hong Kong legislator Xu Zhifeng expressed his concern for Hong Kong when he attended an event in London to show solidarity with the 47 people arrested in Hong Kong, and on March 8, he revealed on Facebook that he had flown from London to Australia for 14 days in quarantine before continuing his face-to-face international lobbying work.
Xu said, “Although there are many Hong Kong people who have settled and studied in Australia, there are relatively few Hong Kong political leaders who are in exile in Australia and devote themselves to lobbying work full-Time“, which is one of the factors for his decision to switch to Australia.
In Australia, the Chinese Communist Party’s minister in Australia, Wang Zuining, recently called Australians who criticize the CCP “scum” and said “it is really hard to be a friend of the CCP in Australia now”.
Li Yuanhua, an Australian academic and former associate professor at Beijing Normal University, said Wang has become a laughing stock in Australia, as he appeared on ABC’s live program last year and was pressed on a number of sensitive issues, causing the audience to laugh several times.
Li Yuanhua, a former associate professor at Beijing Normal University, said, “This time, he (Wang Lining) has come out as a War Wolf, and is already scolding those who criticize the Chinese Communist Party. I think this is the Chinese Communist Party officials, especially this kind of people who seemed to be able to fool the Australian political circles in the past, but now there is nothing they can do. It’s a kind of helplessness, a wailing on their part, to see it that way.”
Cliff Hamilton, an Australian scholar who published the 2018 book The Silent Invasion, told Voice of America that now, in Australia, it is not hard to be a friend of China, but it is indeed a bit difficult to be a friend of the CCP.
Li Yuanhua, a scholar in Australia, shares the same view.
Li Yuanhua, a former associate professor at Beijing Normal University, said, “Australian politics is now gradually getting tougher and tougher because people are distinguishing the concept of the CCP and the Chinese people, and after the distinction, they are speaking out in a justifiable manner.”
Li Yuanhua believes that the Chinese Communist Party is exasperated by the fact that the Australian community is bravely speaking out after the Chinese Communist Party launched a trade war against Australia.
