In 2009 I got my Bachelor degree in Melbourne, then in 2010 I worked for 1 year in Sydney. In 2011 I returned to Beijing. I was waiting for the results of my permanent residency application. I wanted to work in China and then move to Australia permanently if I am accepted. I fell in love with Australia during my study and wanted to make a life there.

I started job hunting in Beijing. I was contacted about an opportunity for graduates from Australian universities. I thought that this was a recruitment event for a Chinese company that deals with Australia that was trying to recruit graduates who knew Australia. I thought there was nothing to lose by going to this event.

When I arrived at the venue it was clear it was a CCP (Chinese Communist Party) event. The CCP was mentioned on posters and by the authorities before the start. I was still still a very nationalist Chinese man, normal for young Chinese. But I learned lot in Australia so I was a bit sceptical.

When it started I realised that it was not a job opportunity. It was a recruitment for a a scheme of CCP, and it was very surprising. The plan was, we were chosen for immigration to Australia. They did not try to hide it, they were very open with everything.

They offered us a large salary and said we could take our money out of China if we joined the program. They wanted us to apply for immigration to Australia. If we are accepted, we had to buy 4 houses. They said they would give us the money to buy the houses. The most important rule they said was we could only sell or rent to other Chinese. If not, the house should be empty. Chinese government promised they will cover all costs.

They said the reasons were:

Chinese domination of real estate and economy

Make a large number of Chinese Australian citizens who can vote for CCP approved candidate

Make Chinese the ownership class in Australian society and make Australians depend on Chinese to live

They said that by doing this, then before 2060 they wanted Australia to be controlled by China. Like Hong Kong.

I was still a big lover of the CCP, but I understood that something was wrong. Everyone else was very happy and smiling but I was confuse. I left before the end of the event. When I got home I was shocked and had to think about it. I didn’t understand what happened. I decided not to participate. No one ever contacted me again.

I moved to Australia the next year. I was normal permanent resident, not a Chinese government agent. I love Australia. This year I became a citizen. With my new citizenship I renounced my Chinese, so now they can’t control me. I feel safe to tell my story now.

I have been reading a lot about the problem with Chinese people buying all the houses. This made me remember this. I think that it is really just the start too and will get bigger the more time goes on. I think that most Chinese are a part of this program. Young Chinese students are being controlled in their minds by the Communist Party and their influence in university. Because of that they are very happy to join a plan like this.

I am now a proud Australian. I am not Chinese anymore. I’m very proud of that, when the Chinese government does things like this. This Chinese Government plan must be exposed. We can save our country to make sure our children can enjoy the same freedoms and chances that we do. If we don’t even have a house we can not live.
