Be careful with whom you associate. Mr. Andrews should remember that if you sleep with dogs, you're likely to get fleas...

The Victoria state government’s decision to sign a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with China on the Belt and Road Initiative has alarmed some. However, signing an MoU is no big deal. It should be viewed as a natural extension of Victoria’s strong trading relationship with China and not a fundamental change in policy. This is primarily because, despite Australia not officially “signing on” to the initiative, Chinese firms are already participating in numerous Belt and Road projects in Australia. The Australian media has framed the country’s participation in the Belt and Road markedly different from Chinese sources. Chinese companies, provincial governments, and media routinely list any kind of outbound foreign investment by a state-owned enterprise or Chinese private company as a BRI project, even if the host country is not yet a BRI country. From this point of view, Australia is already participating in the BRI. thediplomat.com/2018/11/the-belt-and-road-in-victoria-no-big-deal/ |

I wonder which Chinese Province Mr Andrews represents in the Victorian Parliament?

My concern is, when the Chinese call for payment, and it can't be made, what will they take instead? |
