Fears for Australia-China relationship as investment plummets by $4.8 billion

Chinese investments in Australia took a steep dive between 2017 and 2018, falling by 50 per cent according to new data from the Australian National University.

Lead researcher from Chinese Investment in Australia database Susan Travis said it was time to monitor the two countries' relationship more closely. "There was no cause for panic when it came to Chinese investment, but it does bear watching," she said. Then, 2017 saw a significant fall to only $9.6 billion, and that downward decline continued to $4.8 billion last year.

Analysts fear the US-China trade war could be contributing to plummeting Chinese investments in Australia.was placing strain and uncertainty on Australia's relationship with China.

LNP 'MONEY MANAGERS'!! I don't think so!! I would imagine a LARGE part of the CHINESE VOTERS voted for HIM!! They certainly got that wrong!!😂😂😂😂😂😂

Only retards think this is a good thing.

Most probably influenced by the Aussie dollar.

Blame the Queensland government and the greenies, hellbent on total control of everything costing livelihoods while the go home and cosy up to their electric blankets. thegreatawakening

Which means Australia is succeeding in diversifying her economy from just 1 single nation. This is a milestone achievement. No nation should take stupid risk and lean on just 1 country alone.

Yes had to sell back the thousands of illegally purchased houses, the Chinese economy is slowing & Chinese govenment forced the pull back of money. Just as well our socialist /commo left labor section lost the election & control of our money. Lets hope we get a centre labor lot

'GREAT MONEY MANAGERS'? Your going to have to SUCK UP a lot now SCOMO!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

They have bought everything they want. They have free entry to the country through Darwin port and have acquired enough arable land for food production. They own most utilities and have bought the politicians. They are happy.
