Beijing: A Sydney resident being hunted by the Chinese government for alleged corruption has an Australian wife and child, and fears the case against him has been politicised, his family has revealed for the first time.

China's corruption investigator last week published the names and possible overseas addresses of 22 suspects subject to Interpol 'red notices'. It claimed they had fled overseas and called for overseas Chinese to inform on them.

Ji Dongsheng was said to be living in Ethel Street, Burwood, in Sydney.

China's Central Commission for Discipline Inspection alleges he misappropriated client funds when he was the manager of the Henan Securities branch in Zhengzhou. Mr Ji was alleged to have told IT staff to allow client's guarantee funds to be used for share trading, which led to severe losses.
