Wilful ignorance of facts on Chinese investment is cheap politics

The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) finds that in 2019 China accounted for just 2% of the total foreign investment stock in Australia.

The US was the standout No.1 with 26%. China lagged in ninth place, behind Belgium, Singapore, Netherlands, Luxembourg and others. Even if Hong Kong SAR is included in the Chinese total, the aggregate would still only be in fifth spot.
