They own some of our farms

They actively interfere with our companies who don't toe the line in the CCP's interest:

They intervene when our Government tries to sign free trade agreements against CCP's interests:

They're constantly trying to undermine Australia's sovereignty by influencing our politics:

Before all the union members and labour voters get up in arms just fact check other countries regarding foreign investment. FI is OK, but we should be mindful of the criticality of it.
