Chinese and Economic Espionage in Australia

From The Age (of Australia), a story about the botched defection of a Chinese spy in Australia.

Commercial technology and trade secrets are also targets. And, as the Chen case revealed, China is particularly paranoid about the activities here of political and other dissidents."
