A China-born Australian billionaire and political donor has been named in federal parliament as a co-conspirator identified by the FBI in the bribery of a UN ­official and as having close links to the Chinese Communist Party.

In allegations levelled last night, the chairman of the joint ­committee on intelligence and ­security, Andrew Hastie, told parliament he could reveal that a ­figure codenamed by the FBI in the bribery case as CC-3 was ­Australian property developer Chau Chak Wing.
