Alarming truth uncovered about 'Chinese police cars' in Australia
An outspoken critic of the Chinese Government has slammed the driver of a fake Chinese police car allegedly carrying firearms through Sydney - and revealed the shocking reason these vehicles keep appearing on Australian streets. Police spotted a Mercedes S-Class in Strathfield, in the city's inner west, at about 2.50pm last Friday, bearing a police insignia on the doors and bonnet, the word 'police' in Mandarin, and the misspelt word 'poilce' in English. The 21-year-old driver allegedly presented a forged document to officers, claiming the vehicle was being used to transport Chinese consulate officials. Officers searched the car and allegedly discovered a box containing 48 live rounds of ammunition in the boot. The driver allegedly told officers the boot was the 'best place' to store the ammunition and that he had a valid firearms licence and two guns at home. He was charged with multiple offences, including using false documents to influence the exercise of public duty. 'I think it shows the lack of respect that supporters of the Chinese government have towards Australia. They come to Australia = people who openly support the Chinese government -and they think so little of Australia and Australians, they think that they are a law unto themselves. They act as though we already are basically just a vassal state or a puppet state, and they don't have to show any respect for our laws, our police, our country. Anybody who expresses open support for the CCP in Australia, they have to leave. That's the answer.' Mr Pavlou said even though it is 'quite obvious' the mock-ups aren't real Chinese police vehicles, it still creates an atmosphere of fear and alarm for dissidents, whose families face persecution in China. 'I've always thought the most likely scenario is that it's Chinese international students who think it's a fun and cool thing to deck your car out like that,' he previously said. 'They may be doing it as a joke but at the end of the day it is causing real fear and alarm for members of the Chinese community in Australia.' Mr Pavlou argued that because China keeps a close watch on its citizens abroad those who deck out their cars in Chinese police livery would know they have 'tacit approval' and not fear punishment for doing so. 'No one can link it to the actual (Chinese) state, but it's certainly an act that intimidates the Chinese diaspora in Australia,' he said. 'It intimidates Tibetans, Uyghurs, Hong Kongers, Taiwanese - people who have moved to Australia to escape the Chinese regime.' Responding to the Melbourne police car seen in 2023, China-Australia expert Benjamin Herscovitch, the fake police car branding is 'so obvious' it's probably not state-sponsored - but that hasn't stopped it from provoking fear and anger. 'From the point of view of the Chinese government, the benefits that you would get from having a car like this driving around the streets of Melbourne, are not big enough to justify the diplomatic kerfuffle and drama for the Chinese government that would result if something like this was traced back to the Chinese government,' he told SBS. Mr Pavlou, has used his social media following to spread his opposition to the Chinese Communist Party. While running for the Queensland Senate in 2022 under his own party 'Drew Pavlou Democratic Alliance', he dressed as a Chinese Red Guard during a protest. The action by Pavlou was to highlight Liberal MP Gladys Liu's former connections with Chinese Communist Party-linked groups. He was also ordered to pay a $3,100 penalty by the Brisbane Magistrates Court in October 2023 for unlawfully displaying an advert outside the Chinese consulate which referenced the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre. Kunlang Li, the driver of the black Mercedes S-Class made to look like a Chinese police vehicle, faced Burwood Court on Tuesday. He faces multiple charges including displaying emergency services organisation insignia, driving a motor vehicle with unlawful police insignia, and using false documents to influence exercise of public duty. He was charged with providing information known to be false or misleading, possessing an unauthorised prohibited firearm, and not displaying P plates. During his court appearance, Magistrate Jeff Tunks asked Li via his interpreter to enter a plea. But after being asked how he would plead to the charge of driving a motor vehicle with unlawful police insignia and a pause, Li's interpreter told the court he needed more time to seek legal advice. The court was adjourned to August 11 and Li's bail continued.
