# ZHAO FUGANG ALLEGEDLY “COMPROMISED” POLICE DRUG OPERATIONS IN FIJI AND AUSTRALIA.

Posted on April 24, 2024 6 Comments

Suva businessman Zhao Fugang

The Suva businessman and self acknowledged Chinese Communist Party agent, Zhao Fugang, is back on the front pages in Australia accused of allegedly infiltrating and compromising the fight against drugs in Fiji and Australia.

For the first time, two other alleged “Mr Bigs” in the drug trade are named by Nine newspapers – Jason Zhong, the business partner of the Minister of iTaukei Affairs, Ifeiremi Vasu, and a Chinese businessman, Lum Bing, who is a British national with a prominent profile in the region.

When the drugs allegations against Zhao Fugang first surfaced last month, they were poo-poohed as “fake news” by the Chinese Embassy in Suva and the Minister for Home Affairs, Pio Tikoduadua, said they were “not new”. But the allegation that Fiji police have been corrupted and that has hampered the drug fight both locally and in Australia takes this to an entirely new level.

The story is by the same Nine newspapers multi-award winning reporter, Nick McKenzie, who quoted western intelligence agencies when he first raised the allegations against Zhao Fugang in the Sydney Morning Herald and the Age and on the 60 Minutes television program. So this isn’t going away. Far from it.

Fresh allegations: Zhao Fugang with the Prime Minister, Sitiveni Rabuka.

A close relationship. Sitiveni Qiliho and Zhao Fugang.

Is this latest story “nothing new” too? The pressure is now on the Home Affairs Minister to act.

    If one attends Nadi Police Station to complain about the same you’ll see eyes shifting from the left to the right on the faces of officers. You’ll be moved (“don’t say anything in front of that officer”) from office to office away from various officers.

    Like an agent Vinod movie.

    End result is it all amounts to nothing with even CID officers seemingly doing nothing but writing on blank paper.

    I keep beating the same drum. I feel another coup in my old bones is coming -especially if Frank is locked away and the key thrown in Suva Harbour.

    There is no question that this government and its ministers are setting “very high standards” in the country. These are exactly the type of high standards which the people of Fiji want! Because they are so exuberant about this government led by a crackpot and despots who are involved directly with these Chinese mobsters.
    And then the peopole complain about everything. F*cking idiots.
    But, notto worry because God will be saving them. They just have to pray a little harder.

    With the PM and the AG and others in government being such God-fearing Israelites there does appear to be some double standards when it comes to corruption. Some of these people actually speak to God I am told. You know, certain iTaukei are very special people. Their chiefs have power through dakuwaqa etc. Christianity only comes in when it suits the purpose. Just ask Blinky Bill.
    But then it could be the case that all the Godly talk is a smokecreen to scam the populace, who are easily fooled, because they all have Third World mentality.

    The Godly smokescreen aside, the reality is these people in government are just f*ckwits.
    And that is exactky what the halfwit people of Fiji want! The whole thing is a circus.

    This is the change people voted for. Fiji soon to become the easiest port to transfer drugs from.

    The police is sold, the politicians are sold…now on sale is the future of our children.

About Grubsheet

Graham Davis
Grubsheet Feejee is the blogsite of Graham Davis, an award-winning journalist turned communications consultant who was the Fijian Government’s principal communications advisor for six years from 2012 to 2018 and continued to work on Fiji’s global climate and oceans campaign up until the end of the decade.

 

Fiji-born to missionary parents and a dual Fijian-Australian national, Graham spent four decades in the international media before returning to Fiji to work full time in 2012. He reported from many parts of the world for the BBC, ABC, SBS, the Nine and Seven Networks and Sky News and wrote for a range of newspapers and magazines in Australia, New Zealand and Fiji.

 

Graham launched Grubsheet Feejee in 2011 and suspended writing for it after the Fijian election of 2014, by which time he was working at the heart of government. But the website continued to attract hits as a background resource on events in Fiji in the transition back to parliamentary democracy.

 

Grubsheet relaunches in 2020 at one of the most critical times in Fijian history, with the nation reeling from the Covid-19 crisis and Frank Bainimarama’s government shouldering the twin burdens of incumbency and economic disintegration.

 

Grubsheet’s sole agenda is the national interest; the strengthening of Fiji’s ties with the democracies; upholding equal rights for all citizens; government that is genuinely transparent and free of corruption and nepotism; and upholding Fiji’s service to the world in climate and oceans advocacy and UN Peacekeeping.
