Chinese businessman Chau Chak Wing has told a Sydney court he was "distressed" by an ABC program which allegedly defamed him by portraying him as a Communist Party spy.The court heard Dr Chau made large donations to Australian universitiesDr Chau is suing the broadcaster over a joint investigation with Nine, which culminated in a June 2017 Four Corners episode.
Giving evidence from China through an interpreter, Dr Chau has told the Federal Court the allegations caused him trouble sleeping and damaged him financially. His daughter, Winky Chow, recalled taking about 15 phone calls after the episode aired from people who knew the family and were "shocked and surprised".
"He was very hurt, obviously, and through the conversation I had to ask him several times whether I should continue," Ms Chow told the court.The court has heard Dr Chau's donations to various causes in Australia have continued despite what his barrister, Bruce McClintock SC, called "attacks" by the ABC and Nine.

Call out to all Chinese Australian citizen, especially if you are rich, don't ever get involved in politics or do any good deed in the land of Australia. Due to the colour of your skin and China being the country of your birth, you are a SPY!!!
Maybe he should return home to China then to lower his distress.
Truth hurts. Spilled a lot of money buying off Australian universities from the good of your heart, I know, but you are still doing the bidding of a foreign power. Better get used to being called a spy.
