An Australian tech CEO linked to Chinese Communist Party-backed (CCP) groups has been supplying equipment to the Australian Defence Force and police for years, according to a federal senator.

The CCP’s United Front Work Department aims to influence the overseas Chinese diaspora (and political leaders) while taking a lead role in targeting minority or spiritual groups like Falun Gong (Falun Dafa).
