【新唐人2013年05月30日讯】澳大利亚媒体日前报导，中共解放军总政治部下属的“中国国际友好联络会”，是一个“情报收集”平台，多管齐下拉拢美、澳等西方国家的政界、军界和商界领袖。但这些领袖们浑然不知中共的所谓“联谊组织”，实际上是解放军的一个情报收集部门。另一方面，分析认为，中共也通过金钱外交收买西方政客，包括西方军界。许多西方政要受到中共的统战和渗透，在各种外事活动中帮助中共。
澳大利亚《悉尼晨锋报》5月25号发表：《中共苦心经营结交朋友》。
文章说：美国参谋长联席会议前副主席，退役上将比尔•欧文斯（Bill Owens）受到中共总政治部主任张阳的款待，见到多位解放军将领。
文章披露，作为总政治部主任，张阳负责维持解放军的纪律、意识形态和抵制叛变，另外一个职责是，要找出外国国防机构的薄弱环节，并影响他们的决策。而“联络部”下属的“中国国际友好联络会（友联会）”，原名“敌情侦察部”，主要职责是“开展分解敌人”和“团结友好军事力量”。
而根据澳媒“费尔法克斯（Fairfax）”媒体集团报导，退役的比尔‧欧文斯海军上将是中共军方的“红人”，他曾与中央军事委员会副主席许其亮、以及他的前任徐才厚吃过便饭。在过去六年中，他会见中共高层将领花的时间，大概比所有在职的美国将军加起来还要多。
中共18大召开前，“友联会”还安排了由投资银行——“摩根士丹利”首席执行官麦晋桁（John Mack）为首的一个美国商务代表团，在中南海紫光阁与欧文斯会谈。
“纽约城市大学”政治学教授夏明表示，许多西方政要受到中共的统战和渗透，在各种外事活动中帮助中共。
纽约城市大学政治学教授夏明：“ 你可以看到，在全球对中国进行说话游说的人，确确实实是非常多。所以目前在全球，反对中国共产党的力量，现在遇到的阻碍，其实第一阻碍不是来自于中国共产党，而第一阻碍是来自于中国共产党在全球建立的统一战线，当然影响是非常大的。”
“友联会”还邀请了澳洲前总理霍华德，前英国首相托尼‧布莱尔，和美国“微软公司”创始人比尔‧盖茨，参加首届“中国公益慈善论坛”。
新西兰《新报》主编陈维健认为，西方国家当然意识到中共的渗透，但是因为西方国家追求中国的市场，他不得不跟中共交好。
新西兰《新报》主编陈维健：“但是因为西方国家有一个更大的利益需求在里面。就是希望通过跟中国的贸易，改变他们的经济状况。现在因为西方国家经济出现一些问题，那么中共通过金钱外交收买西方政客，包括西方军界。”
报导还说，欧文斯将商业、军事、科技领域的专长，用于一系列电信公司上，他还在香港拥有一家俬募股权投资公司，最近又在北京成立了咨询公司——普罗米修斯，主要是针对跨境的技术转让，和收购中如何克服政治壁垒。
而欧文斯所说的“具有重大意义的慈善事业”，就是赞助无数退休的美国高级将领访问中国。耐人寻味的是，他的美国退休将军团队之间达成的具体行动方案，一切都是对中共军方有利，而完全没有中共对美国具体承诺的回报。
澳洲最大富豪之一、澳洲第三大铁矿石生产商“福蒂斯丘金属集团（FMG Fortescue Metals Group）”总裁安德鲁•弗雷斯特（Andrew Forrest），最近一直谈论上个月他与中方高层的谈话，并告诉澳洲人要与中国友好相处。但是他却不知道接待他的中共所谓“联谊组织”，实际上是解放军的一个情报收集部门。
报导说，澳洲四大银行、捷达航空公司、澳洲商业委员会的高管层，以及前驻华大使芮捷锐，都曾接受过中共这一组织的款待，但澳洲的这些商界领袖们却浑然不知。

CCP Rope-In Western Leaders
Australian media recently reported that the
China Association for International Friendly Contact (CAIFC)
under General Political Department of PLA is an intelligence gathering platform,
and it uses all means to rope in military, political and business
leaders, in the US, Australia and other Western countries.
But they don’t know the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)’s
so-called CAIFC is an intelligence agency of PLA.
On the other hand, analysts believe, the CCP also bribed
Western politicians, including Western military leaders.
Many Western politicians have been won over by the CCP
and helped the CCP in a variety of foreign affairs.
Sydney Morning Herald in Australia published on May 25:
Chinese Communist Party Painstaking Efforts to Make Friends.
The article said former Deputy Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff,
retired Admiral, Bill Owens was treated by Zhang Yang,
the director of the General Political Department of the CCP,
and met with a number of People’s Liberation Army generals.
The article revealed that as director of the General Political
Department, Zhang Yang is responsible for maintaining
discipline and ideology of the PLA and resisting mutiny.
Another duty is to find weaknesses in the defense agencies
of foreign countries, and influence their decisions.
CAIFC under General Political Department of PLA,
formerly known as the enemy reconnaissance unit,
its main responsibility is to disintegrate the enemy
and unite friendly military force.
According to the Australian media, Fairfax, retired
Admiral Bill Owens is the Chinese military’s favorite,
he has had dinner together with Xu Qiliang,
Vice Chairman of the Central Military Commission,
as well as Xu’s predecessor Xu Caihou.
In the past six years, the time he’s spent meeting
with senior Chinese Communist generals,
would probably be more than all the time he spent
meeting with generals serving the United States.
Before the 18th National People’s Congress (NPC), the
China Association for International Friendly Contact (CAIFC),
arranged a meeting between an America business
delegation lead by John Mack, CEO of Morgan Stanley-
an Investment Bank and Bill Owens.
The meeting was held in Ziguangge at Zhongnanhai.
Xia Ming, a political science professor in
City University of New York said that
many Western politicians were roped in by the CCP,
and help the CCP in a variety of foreign affairs.
Xia Ming: “You can see in the world,
Chinese lobbyists indeed talk to many people.
Today, on the globe, the biggest obstacle to breaking
the powers of the CCP is not the CCP itself,
but the united front it has established in the world.
It has a very big impact."
CAIFC also invited former Australian Prime Minister
John Howard, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair,
and the United States Microsoft founder Bill Gates
to attend the first China Charity Forum.
New Zealand Daily News editor Chen Weijian believes that
the Western countries are certainly aware of
the penetration of the CCP,
but because they pursue the Chinese market,
they bow down to befriend the CCP.
New Zealand Daily News editor Chen Weijian:
“Because Western countries have a large range of interests,
they hope to improve their economic situation
through trade with China.
Now because of problems in western economies, the CCP
bribe Western politicians, including the Western military."
The report also said, Owens utilized his commercial,
military and technological expertise in a range of telecommunications companies.
He also owns a private equity investment firm in Hong Kong.
He has recently set up a consulting company in Beijing –
Prometheus, mainly for cross-border transfer of technology,
and how to overcome political barriers in its acquisition.
The Charity of great significance that Owens talked about is to
sponsor numerous retired senior U.S. generals to visit China.
Interestingly, the retired U.S. generals team’s actions and
plans were all beneficial for the Chinese military,
but no specific commitments from China to
the United States in return.
CEO Andrew Forrest, one of Australia’s biggest tycoons,
Australia’s third largest iron ore producer, FMG Fortescue Metals Group,
has recently been talking about his conversations with
the high-levels of China and told Australians to live in friendship with China.
But he did not know the so-called CAIFC
is actually an intelligence agency of the PLA.
It is reported that four major banks in Australia, Jet Airways,
senior levels of Australia’s Commerce Committee,
and former ambassador to China Geoff Raby,
had all received hospitality of this organization,
but these business leaders are totally unaware.
