Chinese feel not welcome in Australia
John Garnaut April 29, 2008
REPEATED delays in foreign investment approvals by the Federal Government are causing "significant and damaging misconceptions" in Beijing, says a lawyer for Chinese state-owned companies.
Ian McCubbin, a Melbourne partner at Deacons, said some Chinese companies were dropping their investment applications believing they were unwelcome.
"I've had very senior people in Beijing tell me 'the Australian Government has banned investment by China in Australia'," said Mr McCubbin, who is managing a number of Foreign Investment Review Board applications.
"And I also understand that there are at least two investments by Chinese enterprises or bodies in Australia that have dropped their investment proposals on the basis that they believe those investments would not been approved."
A second Australian adviser said the delays, understood to involve 10 or more potential investors including Sinosteel's unannounced plans for Murchison Metals, were at the top political level in Canberra rather than in the FIRB office. "I was told the applications are all sitting in the office of Treasurer," said the adviser, who also represents a number of Chinese companies in Australia. Some investors, thought to include China's $200 billion sovereign wealth fund, have withdrawn their investment applications because they believe the approval delays reveal the true position of the Australian Government, contrary to public assurances by senior ministers and the Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd.
A spokesman for the Federal Treasurer, Wayne Swan, said the Government did not confirm the claim but "makes no apologies for taking the appropriate time to thoroughly consider and assess applications against the national interest guidelines made public in February".
Australia's investment reputation has been damaged as Chinese companies continue to accumulate funds for foreign resources investments.
Yesterday a Shanghai newspaper reported Baosteel's chairman as saying he had established a special purpose offshore investment vehicle. "Xu Lejiang revealed yesterday his company has set up a subsidiary studying the investment chance in iron ore and coal projects including overseas purchases," said The Oriental Morning Post.
Mr McCubbin has acted for companies such as Sinosteel, China Coal, the steel giant Angang and the company that manages China's sovereign wealth fund, China Investment Corporation.
He said Australia had not told Chinese investors to withdraw their applications. Rather, the FIRB has asked applicants to withdraw applications and immediately reapply to extend the 30-day application period.
Mr McCubbin said none had been resolved recently, and at least one had been rolled over for three successive months.
Most foreign investors seeking more than 15 per cent in a significant Australian company are required by law to receive the board's approval.
But state-owned enterprises - which include almost all big Chinese investors including Chinalco - are required to seek approval for any stake, no matter how small, under the policy guidelines.
