Queensland-based member of Parliament, George Christensen, has allegedly bypassed colleagues to send a letter to the Canberra-based Chinese ambassador on May 13, inviting the embassy to make submissions to the recently established “China Inquiry.”

The federal member for Dawson, Christensen was a major driver for establishing the Inquiry into Diversifying Australia’s Trade and Investment Profile, dubbed the “China Inquiry” which will look into whether Australia is too reliant on one trading partner for exports and whether it relies too heavily on foreign investment.
