A former Chinese intelligence officer who says he has carried out espionage overseas has unveiled his identity to a group of journalists outside parliament and rebuked his former masters.
On a chilly winter's day, the spy, who used the pseudonym Eric, said he was going public because he wanted to tell the world how the Chinese government spies on other countries and hunts down dissidents.
Choosing the 35th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre, Eric issued a defiant rallying cry to more than 100 Falung Gong members meditating in yellow shirts outside Parliament House.
