Dong Luobin, a former back office staff member of the Chinese consulate in Auckland, New Zealand, defected two months after he arrived in Auckland in 2018. The Epoch Times has previously reported on his early life, and he has now shared more details on how he managed to escape the consulate’s tight security.

When Dong was in China, he had long wanted to leave due to his Roman Catholic faith being suppressed under the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). After being assigned to the Chinese consulate in New Zealand, the oppressive environment he experienced there, only strengthened his will to escape.
