Belt and Road advisory board was stacked with people linked to CCP

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.

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.

In March, Ms Dong praised Chinese President Xi Jinping for combating the coronavirus and for his economic leadership. Ms Dong was commended by Department of Foreign Affairs secretary Frances Adamson at a keynote address at an Asialink Business leadership dinner in 2017. The comments came before Australia’s decision to ban Chinese telecommunications firm Huawei and introduce foreign interference laws.

My grandfather, a wiseman told us when I was 12 (now 50) our country will be run by China. Never understood at that age but never forget his comment to us grandkids.

Great to see journalists going outside of their 4am mockingbird narrative - no time to celebrate though as there is a lot to unwind all the lies in the media - be brave journos and become truth seekers even if it is against the Deep state boundaries

Time to drain the Victoria swamp.

Well I think that is the idea right? To foster those links?

These nasty sinophobic media has always been hypocritical and hysterical.

What's wrong with advisors linked to China. Those are smart people who can get rich from China link, unlike dumb Aussies who just do nothing to improve their lives. Link with China is a fast lane to wealth!

.Like that's anything new. .Ffs stop doing the corrupt Trump administration's dirty work!! Trump and Pompeo are ATTACKING OUR SOVEREIGNTY! THAT should be the story! The Russian money controlled Trump administration, a global threat to Democracy, is trying to force us into this!

Who sold Darwin Port?

Why did it take so long? Dan Andrews needs to go up treason charges, he went into a deal with a foreign nation without clearance from the a Federal Government. All part of the Liberal Left and ALP socialist Left era of Malcolm Turnbull.

PDutts complaining about transparency 🤦‍♂️

MayneReport Fairfax just another part of the pro LNP propaghanda machine now.

MayneReport Andrew Robb works for China. Tony Abbott signed a free trade agreement with China. Scott Morrison has no problem with his pro China MP Gladys Liu. But this is a problem? Fuck off , you expect us to swallow this shit?

ErykBagshaw How in the hell do this get approved without anyone noticing!

The current mess has been years in the planning . Australian politics thinks months or a few years ahead ...China thinks in terms of a generation or generations. Basically Auspol focuses on instant(ish) gratification .

Victoria is fucked .. voters should be pleased with themselves

Isn’t Andrews actions another step of governments signing deals, selling assets and trading with China?

We are China's plaything, they have played on this 'foundations' greed, taking us over by stealth, doesn't matter which political party it is, they are all the same, greedy self serving, living for the 'now' and not our future as a free country.

Need our own McCarthy hearings.

Well its time now to get our country back! Cancel those contracts and tell china to get stuffed!

You'd have to have been in a coma for a decade to not have worked out Peterdutton lies and lies and lies. Why do meida give him ANY credibility?

Says who? RubyDutton? Give me a break. Not going to click on that bait.

ComradeDan Labor party are helping China first, Australia last.

gladysliu

We've been infiltrated. Our govts are fools.

What a joke

These are the people the LNP have been assiduously courting for years, to whom whole strategic assets have been sold. Now the LNP is worried about links to the communist party? Shades of 1984. Enemy Friend Enemy on a whim.

Why is this happening? Because you are letting them lease our ports and airports, buy our land and water, buy our electricity infrastructure, buy our dairies and baby formula company. Take donations and allow them influence in our democracy.

SO THE US DID A SHIT JOB AT CONTAINING THE CORONAVIRUS SO THEY WANT TO USE AUSTRALIA WHO HAD A BETTER CREDIBILITY AT HANDLING THE VIRUS TO BE THIER BARKING LAPDOG AT CHINA. DUTTON LOOK LIKE A US MUTT. 🐕‍🦺🐕‍🦺🐕‍🦺🐕‍🦺🐕‍🦺

Surprise!

This man's face makes me sick. It should be illegal for it to be seen in public.

We are an educated people. China is a Communist state. People with any endeavour involving China have 'links to CCP'. Same as anybody with any endeavour involving Australia have 'links to Rupert Murdoch'!

Andrew Robb is a left-leaning communist sympathiser? Yes, that is surprising news.

Everyone act surprised.

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 🤣🤣🤣 auspol

Got to challenge it in the high court auspol vicpol Melbourne Victoria

Why is Jean Dong refusing interviews on this matter?

Premier Daniel Andrews you are one of those useful idiot to the CCP. The world must push back to the Chinese Communist regime, unit together and say NO CCP. Belt and Road is a debt trap, please watch:

Imagine my shock.

Shameful ChinaDan .. he probably forgot who said Australians are chewing gum, who started the Virus. Who bully HongKong by breaking 1 country 2 systems.Who put millions of people in concentration camps. Aussies should stand with Humanrights VOTE THEM OUT! ScottMorrisonMP

No surprise. They own us.

Of course. Just listen to Ms Wong from the ALP change her wording about this matter from the 15th of this month to the 23rd. Something is going on, and badly.
