The Daily Telegraph can reveal the Turnbull government will reap up to $9 million more in capital gains tax revenue by approving the sale of VDL to the Chinese firm than it would to an Australian-based buyer.
The sale could net the federal government another tax windfall, after the controversial Van Diemen’s Land Dairy Company purchase by a Chinese businessman tipped an instant $27 million tax benefit into the government’s coffers.
But The Daily Telegraph has learned that there are as many as 12 major Chinese companies currently running the numbers on the properties.
They include Chongqing Hondo Agriculture Group, which has a kitty of $100 million ready to splash on cattle stations; Shandong Delisi Food Com, which in September paid $140 million for a 45 per cent stake in NSW beef farm Bindaree Beef Group; and Tianma Bearing Group, owned by one of China’s richest men, Xingfa Ma

CHINA TO TAKE OVER ZAMBIA’S INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT FOR DEBT REPAYMENT -December 2019
The Zambian government contracted the Chinese, lazy-thought and glossed over details thinking they were granting consent to genuine terms but the whole thing just morphed into modern day colonialism.

In the light of a remarkable leak of over 400 pages of material to the New York Times revealing the cruelty of the Communist Party’s assault on the Uyghurs, I would now like Mr. Guterres and other world leaders to publicly recognize China for its central role in undermining international rights standards and committing crimes against humanity in East Turkestan.
The US and some Western nations have issued sharp rebukes after the United Nations and rights groups estimated between 1 million and 2 million people, mostly ethnic Uyghurs, were detained as part of a sweeping anti-terrorism campaign.
Uyghurs, a Turkic-speaking Muslim minority, have been locked in political turmoil with China for more than 200 years as Beijing has sought to wrest control of the vast region under various administrations.
The Chinese Communist Party brought it under full control in 1949 and later renamed it the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region.
1 to 2 million people are estimated to have been detained in Xinjiang China in "vocational training centres"
Xinjiang's governor did not give details about what "graduation" entails
The camps have added to tensions with the United States and other Western nations
