Statement of the Australian Values Alliance on Huang Xiangmo‘s visa

The Australian Values Alliance welcomes the decision made by the Australian Immigration to deny the citizenship to the Chinese Communist lobbyist Huang Xiangmo and cancel his residency visa.

Huang Xiangmo was head of the Australian Council for the Promotion of Peaceful Reunification of China (ACPPRC), and is currently head of the Oceanic Alliance of the Promotion of Peaceful Reunification of China(OAPPRC). Both the ACPPRC and the OAPPRC are official branches of China Council for the Promotion of Peaceful National Reunification (CCPPNR) in Beijing run by the United Front Work Department of the  CCP Central Committee.

The AVA views the political donation given by Huang as corruption practice targeting the Australian Government for the CCP agendas.

The cancellation of Huang’s residency is a new step in the right direction for Australia to reject the virus of corruption. It is a shame that the Chinese communities in Australia have been abused by the CCP in an attempt to undermine our institutions of democracy and Australian values such as freedom, human rights and the rule of law.

For too long, some community leaders who are engaged in political activities harmful to Australia on behalf of foreign governments, including China, have reaped inappropriate personal gain from the Australian governments and the communities they represented. The AVA calls on the Australian government to take further measures to reverse those objectionable developments.
