‘He’s lying’: Chinese Ambassador’s spying denial rejected

Sky News Defence Analyst Peter Jennings reacts to a top Chinese diplomat accusing ASIO of fabricating spying claims against his nation.

“He’s lying, and it’s disappointing to me that our media takes that so seriously, that he’s given an opportunity to have an opinion piece in a major Australian newspaper saying that,” Mr Jennings told Sky News host Jaimee Rogers.

“When the Chinese Ambassador says hey, we don’t spy, I’m here to tell you they absolutely do.

“They are the biggest espionage threat that Australia faces today.”
