China is Australia's biggest trading partner, both counties have profited significantly from the relationship over the last 25 years.
Currently, 14.1 per cent of Australia's agricultural land is foreign owned, and China is the largest foreign owner (2.3 per cent).
China is also the third-largest stakeholder of Australian water behind Canada and the US, owning 604 gigalitres or 1.5 per cent of the total Australian water entitlement.
A number of Australian energy companies, for example, are owned by Chinese firms. Energy Australia, despite its name, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Hong Kong-based China Light and Power Co Ltd, while Alinta Energy is owned by Chow Tai Fook Enterprises.
And the list goes on and on in every sector.
So, it already looks like we have sold the farm to China a long time ago.
So why do we have AUKUS? The only reason AUKUS exists is as a beachfront for the US.
Additionally, are we going to get Zelensky'd and have to hand over half our mineral rights?
