Australia Charges Chinese National With Foreign Interference

Australian Federal Police have charged a Chinese national with foreign interference relating to the covert collection of information, in a case that raises the risk of sparking renewed tensions with Beijing. The woman, who is also an Australian permanent resident, was arrested and charged on Saturday after police executed search warrants at homes across Canberra, AFP Assistant Commissioner Stephen Nutt told reporters on Monday. More arrests are expected, he said.
