Port of Melbourne sold to consortium backed by China in 201602/05/2021|9min
MedCare Asia Pacific Director Andrew Phelan says the “world has changed” since a consortium, including the Chinese sovereign wealth fund, bought the Port of Melbourne in 2016.
China’s sovereign wealth fund, the China Investment Corp, was part of a consortium of domestic and global funds which bought the port back in 2016.
It comes as concerns grow around Chinese ownership of the Port of Darwin and the Port of Newcastle.
“The world has changed, and I think these deals should not go ahead,” Mr Phelan said.

Editors of the campus’ newspaper have been blasted for pulling an article which identified several academics presently at the university with connections to the CCP.
