By Peter West, published 19/6/2017

Labor and Liberal are both to blame. Well might Australians say, 'a plague on both your houses'.

Sydney Herald says today that more and more Chinese want to put money into Australia.

No sign of this stopping

No comment on all this from Bob Carr at Australia-Chinese Research Centre, UTS?

Waverly...

..*No comment on all this from Bob Carr at Australia-Chinese Research Centre, UTS?..*

That probably has a bearing on his residence in NZ...Nothing and no one is more Chinese friendly than NZ...the land of the long yellow cloud of Chinese coming into Australia through the back door ...compliments of NZ slack regulations. Italy of the South Pacific...

Tonight's Sydney Herald says the Chinese regulators are cracking down on money being sent out of the country. Heaven knows why. But look at the amounts! Where do they get all this money?

"Chinese business magazine Caixin said banks have been asked to assess their credit risk and exposure to the companies overseas activities.

Hurun, which publishes China's annual rich list, reported that Chinese enterprises made overseas direct investments and acquisitions totalling $US215.8 billion in 2916, an 148 per cent increase.

Australia was ranked as the fourth country for deals. Bloomberg reported that the tightening controls on Chinese companies moving money offshore saw a 56 percent drop in deals in 2017."

Hmm.

Well- we have the best politicians that money can buy.
