It looks like the Chinese Capitalist Future is Roaring and Thundering Down Under


From - https://www.cnbc.com/2017/12/18/china-news-us-australia-criticize-beijing-political-influence-attempts.html

"...Australian senator Sam Dastyari recently resigned over a scandal concerning his links with Chinese donors.

Beijing has also provided financial support to former New Zealand politicians in an attempt to promote Chinese interests, according to a September report by Anne-Marie Brady, a professor at the University of Canterbury.

Xi's administration, "which is encouraging more overseas Chinese to become engaged in politics," also funds interest groups abroad, Brady said.

One of them is the Peaceful Reunification of China Association of New Zealand, which "engages in a range of activities which support Chinese foreign policy goals, including block-voting and fund-raising for ethnic Chinese political candidates who agree to support their organization's agenda," Brady explained.

In Australia, about 80 percent of foreign political donations to national political parties came from China during 2000 to 2016, according to a recent report from the University of Melbourne's law school.

Turnbull has proposed a ban on overseas donations in an effort to limit overall foreign influence in Australian politics."
