U.S. figure skater Alysa Liu and her father, Arthur, are central to a gripping story involving alleged Chinese espionage, adding an unusual dimension to the lead-up to the 2026 Winter Olympics.

A Sydney businessman is accused of falsely claiming that security and defense advice given to Chinese spies originated from former Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, who is expected to testify in the foreign interference trial.

Figure skater Alysa Liu and her father were allegedly targeted by Chinese spies before the 2022 Beijing Olympics due to his involvement in Tiananmen Square.
