New Australia Law Can Scrap China Belt and Road Accords
Prime Minister Scott Morrison has new powers to veto or scrap agreements that state governments reach with foreign powers under laws that could stymie China’s Belt and Road Initiative in Australia and further inflame tension between the trading partners.
New Australia law passed by Parliament on 8 Dec (Tuesday) will give the foreign minister the ability to stop new and previously signed agreements between overseas governments between overseas governments and Australia’s states and territories, and with bodies such as local authorities and universities.
The states and territories have at least 130 agreements across 30 nations that could be affected by the new law, according to Morrison.
It’s the latest move by the government to safeguard national interests. Morrison also plans to toughen foreign investment screening.

What it’s like living next to a Belt and Road Project
A lot reviews and analysis have been written about China’s multibillion-dollar Belt and Road Initiative by economists, political scientists, and climate experts; however, it’s rare to hear from the people whose lives are directly affected by the program.
It was a chance for them to express their concerns, such as disputes over land use rights, water and air pollution, deforestation, and loss of indigenous culture are just some of the issues they raised. The stories are a powerful reminder to governments and investors to consider the environmental and social impact of the BRI.

This is how true diplomacy works, not #CCP’s bullshit health Silk Road. Just look at Brazil right now!

TLDR: Just a reminder of how China uses disinformation campaigns to sway public opinion during COVID

Social media and 'mask diplomacy' may have got them somewhere, but their other aggressive policies and human rights abuse won't get them far.
Italy is no stranger to the CCP’s moves, as they joined China’s Belt and Road initiative (BRI) in 2019, and they plan to celebrate 50 years of diplomatic relations in the coming year.
Perhaps that's why China is so keen on feeding Italy their nationalistic views and keep showing CCP is better than the EU.
