Ex-Chinese diplomat reveals Chinese regime’s overseas scheme Former Chinese diplomat ChenYonglin says the Chinese regime's foreign mission is an extension of domestic oppression.Chen addressed the public in Vancouver with documentations showing the regime's ploys to influence and control western perception of China through overseas Chinese language media and through student and community groups acting as front organizations. The purpose he said is to discredit and intimidate five target groups: Tibetan exiles, Taiwainese, Uighur Muslims, democracy activists and Falun Gong practitioners.Chen served as the first secretary of the consulate in Sydney and headed up the consulate's political department, which was responsible for taking the lead in combating the five groups. Chen described several methods that the Chinese regime used to control overseas media. One is to have media publish content from Mainland Chinese media. Another is to directly invest or set up fully controlled media. Chen offered as an example the nine state-owned television channels from mainland China that were recently approved by CRTC to broadcast in Canada."In retrospect of my life as a diplomat, I was different from those western diplomats. I was not serving our country or the people. I stood against the people," said Chen. He defected in May 2005 saying his conscience forbade him from doing the work, which he says included spying on Australians in the five groups and interfering in their activities. According to Chen, many high-ranking Chinese officials and diplomats have fled from the regime's control. Family members of former CCP leader Jiang Zemin and current top leader Zeng Qinghong have obtained immigration IDs in Australia. All of these signaled a sign of the regime’s collapse. Chen said "The regime is unstable but it won't step down from the stage of history and apologize to the people for their wrongdoings. If everyone speaks up and does not cooperate with them, we can predict that it will collapse very soon.」
