LOCAL ISSUES: AS I noted 3 years ago, the big AQIS Development at Yorkers Knob, not a bad idea, couldn't progress because the, then, new President, Mr Xi of China had put the bear traps out for Chinese corruption...and although Mr Fung was legitimate, the funding he needed for it would have had to come from dodgy Chinese folk (Hong Kong democracy-advocate billionaires)...the money was there, but was Black Money (proceeds of corruption). The initiation of the Free Trade Agreement between China and Australia meant that Australia has to give the details of Chinese investors in Australia to the Chinese Government on a reciprocal basis...which is quite reasonable. We demand the same. Ever since the rise to power of the most powerful being on Earth, ever, Mr Xi, things are becoming a bit more realistic and stable in the world. AQIS is a no-go. That Black Money went to buy American businesses in America. The positive thing is that China's corruption is reducing rapidly at the same rate as its domestic economy is leaping forward. Well done, Mr Xi. Smart man. A better world. We are connected.
