And agree with your point re China. Reading Silent Invasion by Clive Hamilton at the moment. It's a good book about China's plan and infiltration / takeover planned for Aus. Not racist, not xenophobic just realist and how quickly / cheaply we're giving up our sovereignty.
Equally surprised by the proportion of small level of Chinese ownership shown in their table however I also agree with…
in that its their increasing investment in ports (Darwin), electricity networks (Ausgrid latest but plenty there) and farms that I'm more concerned about.
The point is the economic leverage the Chinese have over us is unparalleled, no other country is buying our politicians (I'm looking at you Sam Distyari, Bob Carr, etc), or opposing Australian policy and its a totalitarian society with a shocking history of human rights abuses.
