As Australia increasingly debates China's influence on its society, a new MP is facing damaging questions over her past links to Beijing-associated groups.
近年來澳洲社會對於中國的影響力越來越有爭議，新上任的國會議員也面臨與北京當局統戰團體有關聯的質疑。
But the first Chinese-Australian to sit in the often uproarious House of Representatives has been reduced to tears by a sustained attack by her political enemies for failing to disclose her membership of organisations linked to China's Communist Party.
廖嬋娥身為澳洲首位華裔國會議員，雖選上了澳洲的眾議院議員，但卻因沒有揭露他過去與統戰團體的關係而遭到政敵攻擊，當場忍不住哭出來。
The Australian Broadcasting Corporation reported Ms Liu was a council member of the Guangdong provincial chapter of the China Overseas Exchange Association - which at the time was part of China's powerful State Council, the Chinese government's central political and administrative body. Ms Liu later confirmed she was an honorary member of the association between 2003 and 2015, but has strongly denied any divided loyalties.
根據澳洲廣播公司的報導，廖蟬娥曾擔任中國海外交流協會廣東分會的理事。在當時中國海外交流協會是中國國務院的分支。廖嬋娥表示，她曾在2003至2015年時擔任中國海外交流協會分會的榮譽職位，但否認政敵的指控。
