Chitchat Sinkie Journalist Expelled From Chinkland For Exposing Winnie Jinping's Close Relative For Money Laundering!

[JohnTan]

BEIJING - A Singaporean journalist working for the Wall Street Journal in China has been effectively expelled from the mainland a month after he co-wrote a report that detailed how a close relative of President Xi Jinping's was involved in a money laundering probe and high-stakes gambling in Australia.

Mr Wong Chun Han's press credentials expired on Friday (Aug 30) and would not be renewed, Chinese authorities told WSJ on the same day.

The 33-year-old has been based in WSJ's Beijing bureau since 2014, and is known for his coverage of Chinese politics. Mr Wong has been a staff reporter with the WSJ since 2011 and was based in Singapore before China.

The Straits Times understands that Mr Wong left Beijing for Hong Kong on Friday evening.

"We can confirm that Chinese authorities have declined to renew Chun Han's press credentials. We continue to look into the matter," said a spokesman for Dow Jones, the publishers of the WSJ.

This is the first time Beijing has expelled a WSJ reporter in such fashion.

Mr Wong was one of two WSJ journalists who wrote a July 30 report detailing how Mr Ming Chai, a cousin of Mr Xi's and an Australian citizen, was under investigation as part of an Australian crime and money laundering probe. The story, which was a joint investigation with Australian media, detailed Mr Chai's extravagant spending in resorts owned by Australian gaming tycoon James Packer.

That's actually a blessing in disguise, you never know if any of the 愤青 lunatics in mainland China would murder you because you have 'interfered in China's domestic affairs'.

PAP is still the most honest asiatic political party after all these decades.

They have very good A level results and ECA records to justify why they were deserving scholarship recipients. Oppies don't question LHY's role as a President Scholar and SAF general ever since LHY has publicly identified with oppie causes in recent years.

I bet they would shut up about Ah Gong's kids all being President Scholars if they both switched to the oppie camp too. This is political sophistry on the oppies' part!
