From The Chistian Science Monitor:

Just days after diplomat Chen Yonglin announced he had applied for asylum in Australia, a second Chinese official Tuesday announced his bid for refuge and backed Mr. Chen’s claims that China has 1,000 spies operating in the country, reports the BBC.

The Age of Melbourne, Australia reports that Hao Fengjun “claimed he was the man in charge of collating and analyzing information gathered by Chinese spies in Australia.”
