SYDNEY -- Australia has revoked the permanent residency of a Chinese billionaire living in Sydney, and rejected his application for citizenship for allegedly meddling in domestic politics, in what would be the first test of a newly amended security law.
Local media reported that real estate mogul Huang Xiangmo is believed to have links to the Chinese Communist Party and to have made massive donations to Australian politicians to sway policies in favor of Beijing. Canberra's decision is a sign of growing wariness of China's attempts to expand its influence over the country.
