The director of a Belt and Road Initiative lobby group in Victoria, Australia who worked closely with the state government has been found praising Chinese leader Xi Jinping’s handling of the CCP virus pandemic in an interview with a state-run national daily newspaper in China.
Australia-China Belt and Road Initiative (ACBRI) CEO Jean Dong’s praise came around the same that Australia was coming to grips with the news that two Chinese-backed companies had shipped tonnes of critical medical equipment from Australia to China.
