A former member of China’s secret police who fled to Australia will be providing evidence to the Foreign Interference Commission, a media outlet has reported.

The man known by the pseudonym “Eric” worked for China’s Ministry of Public Security (MPS) for 15 years, including as an undercover agent. He told Australia’s public broadcaster ABC that he was invited by the commission to testify as a witness this fall.
