A Chinese defector who said he would reveal details of espionage in New Zealand has been blocked from entering the country.
Hao Fengjun, who was granted a protection visa in Australia after backing claims of a spy network there, did not have the correct travel documents.
Mr Hao, who claims
to be a defector from the Chinese National Security Bureau and former member of a spy agency known as 610 Office, said he would provide evidence of agents working here in illegal activities, including abducting Chinese nationals and smuggling them back to China.
A spokesman from the New Zealand branch of the organisation Democratic China said Mr Hao thought his Australian visa covered him for a visit here. The trip would be reorganised, he said.
