Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade Committee Department of the Senate PO Box 6100 Parliament House Canberra ACT 2600 Re: Australia’s Foreign Relations (State and Territory Arrangements) Bill 2020 and Australia’s Foreign Relations (State and Territory Arrangements) (Consequential Amendments) Bill 2020 Dear Sir/Madam: Action requested: Stop CCP agent radio propaganda in Australia Background: 3CW is an organization who is belong to China Radio international branch.(Ref 1) In public official as we know: 3CW is owned by sole director and secretary Mr Zhao Qing Jiang. Mr Jiang is a director of various Chinese media entities, including Sydney Chinese Radio Pty Ltd, Canberra Chinese Radio Pty Ltd, Perth Community Television Pty Ltd, The Chinese Weekly Pty Ltd, Australian Oriental Film & Television Production Pty Ltd, Ostar International Media Group Pty Ltd, FM104.9 Network Pty Ltd, ACT Radio Net Pty Ltd and AIMG Holdings Pty Ltd.(Ref 2) 3CW is a Chinese language radio station based in South Melbourne, Victoria. The station's main service broadcasts under a high powered open narrowcast (HPON) licence on 1341 kHz AM, operated by AIMG Holdings. The transmitter is located in Leopold, Victoria, facing Port Phillip Bay. Descriptions: 1341 license is owned by Grant Broadcasters, and is leased to the broadcasters. This frequency was formerly occupied by 3GL before it converted to FM in the 1990s. 3CW also broadcasts a Chinese music formatted station in the AM narrowband. Branded 3CW 1620AM Program, the station is broadcast from Bayswater. Let we see how they use this MUSIC channel to assist CCP propaganda Chinese news and other events. A few examples that I listened from the reado(ref 3): 16 September 2020 Page 2 20:50 of 15 September 2020: The program is called “Global Chinese”. The host chat about Taiwan and USA relationship. He said: “If the United States sells weapons to Taiwan, we must protect our homeland.”, and he is also state: “If the United States comes war, then we are not afraid of a nuclear war between the two powers”. 19:10 of 15 September 2020: Part of topic from the news broadcast. The news reader descripts how serious coronavirus in Australia and Victoria, there are a lot of patients’ dead, and Melbourne is still under stage 4, public complaints every where. Then she compared with China Wuhan where has already defeated the virus, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. (I guess she try to lead audience mind) 9 July 2019 (I did not remember the time) China Central radio news: Chairman Xi Jinping spoke at the national conference: The Communist Party is dedicated to serving the people and governing for the country. China's foreign exchange reserves increased slightly in the first half of the year, reaching 0.6% On the 82nd anniversary of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Beijing Exhibition Hall exhibited the real objects and photos of the cultural resistance of the Communist Party of China. Iran has increased the charges for freighters passing through the Strait of Holmes, mainly treating the United States and Western countries that support punishment of Iran and protesting unfair treatment. 22:30 of 7 July 2019: News from Chinanews.com: Hong Kong citizens condemn demonstrators for undermining Hong Kong's legal system and must be severely punished. Former Secretary for Security Ip Ms Lau Shu-yee said that the impact on the Legislative Council is serious, and the police must attack in depth and not miss it. (When Ms Yee was in power, she stepped down because of improper handling of anti-Article 23 demonstrations) All most of Australian Chinese immigrates know the fact: The Chinese consulate doesn't like all the media that they can't control. I met some Chinese overseas students; I were told they are afraid spoke sensitive topics that will report to their motherland and will caused trouble when they return. In Melbourne, Mr Jiang Zhaoqing’s Australian radio station censored program content and punished announcers in accordance with instructions issued by the Chinese Communist Party. In the recording of "Four Corners",(Ref 4) Mr Jiang Zhaoqing criticized Melbourne's veteran announcer Mr Xiaolu who is one of the radio host after the show for allowing listeners to criticize Beijing on the hotline. “You arbitrarily let them scold China and the Communist Party in the air, and the language is so vicious, how can it be done?" Mr Jiang Zhaoqing said in the recording. I have monitored 3CW for while, found 3CW has not changed at all since it was established at later 1990. Even in pre and pro Australia Anti-Foreign Intervention Act has released, their actions are still going. 16 September 2020 Page 3 I am writing to encourage you to review the law and seeking any proper solutions to stop CCP media show their soft power in Australia. My friends and I came from China after Tiananmen Massacre in 1989. We were suffered and know the evil of the CCP. Recently I have seen CCP exert more influence in Australia than before. Please do action to prevent the communist from attacking. I thank you for your patience and I am looking forward to hearing from you.
