Daniel Andrews is a traitor
May 29th, 2020 at 1:20pm
 
Belt and Road advisory board was stacked with people linked to CCP


The board of an Australian and Victorian government funded Belt and Road foundation was stacked with advisers with high-profile links to the Chinese Communist Party.

The list of advisers, which includes members of China's Treasury, spearheaded lobbying of the Victorian government before it became the only Australian state to sign up to the multinational infrastructure initiative.

Premier Daniel Andrews signed on to the package in 2018 and in May declared it "was more important than ever" to stimulate Victoria's post-coronavirus economy.

The move, which will allow for Chinese investment in Victoria and for Victorian companies to participate in Chinese government projects overseas, has angered federal cabinet ministers who hold national security concerns over the deal as China becomes increasingly assertive in its pandemic diplomacy.

Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton on Thursday accused Mr Andrews of a lack of transparency and of using his relationship with China to advance his own political agenda.

"I would have thought sunlight is a good thing here, but for whatever reason he decides to conduct all of this business in secret, and I just don't think it is in the national interest," he said.

The board members listed on a now-removed website include corporate governance expert Li Wei An, who receives a special government allowance from the Chinese State Council, Liu Jian Xing, a director at China's National Development and Reform Commission, and Shuaihua Wallace Cheng, an economist at the Shanghai Municipal Government Development Research Centre. It is common for academics and high-profile business people in China to be associated with the government.

The organisation received $36,850 to provide advice to the Victorian government in 2017-18 and 2019-20 and $20,000 from the federal government in 2016.

The 33-year-old founder of the Victorian-based Australia-China Belt and Road Initiative, Jean Dong, declined a request for an interview. Ms Dong and her fellow director Peter Collins, a genetic variation specialist and science film festival organiser, also recruited Australian corporate heavyweights including BHP Director Malcolm Broomhead, former trade minister Andrew Robb and Paul Cooper, the Chairman of Norman Disney and Young to the board.

Ms Dong, then aged in her 20s, said she played key roles in establishing relations between Tasmania and China and witnessed the signing of the China-Australia Free Trade Agreement after leaving her role as a state media news anchor in China.

who gives a poo if china pays for roads here, or our workers work on roads in china

its just another foreign investor and if it was anyone except china you numbnuts would be applauding it. China isn't even in the top 5 of our largest foreign investors here and yet I've never seen anyone cry over the USA or UK or any of the others investing here

John, do you think a foreign investment by a CCP backed company should be viewed the same way as a similar investment from a country like NZ?

Who gives a fuq about the govt? It's not like they can repossess the road or bridge they pay for us to build.

Worst case scenario they one day declare war on us? Good, then we'll have nice new roads and bridges they paid for to get our weapons to where we need them  Cheesy Cheesy

Australia is still capable of sending a gumboot!

If china becomes an enemy belligerent, we confiscate all their dough and assets, and vet their people living here....the good ones could become part of the new 'Go For Broke' regiment...

So employment for non Australians in Australia comes first?

Andrews has Victoria in $70billion debt to the Chinese ....

do you understand debt trap?

It's like the MAFIA saying we'll give you all this cash/loan as long as we get all the road & infrastructure work for ever.

We have a tender process ...... that would go out the door as well .... as the Chinese companies would just be handed the project.

You should give a poo.

it's a phrase you use when you pretend you know what you're on about

it's nothing like that

tender processes are to bid for the cheapest price to build the infrastructure ... when you have someone willing to build it for free,what purpose does the tender process serve exactly?

the agreement is for specific projects.
