CHINESE INVESTMENT IN AUSTRALIA
* Chinese investment in Australia was almost non-existent before 2007
* But it has hit $3 billion net inflows each year for the past three years
* For three years in a row, China has been Australia's largest source of proposed foreign investment approvals
* China accounted for about 25 per cent of the value of all approved investment in 2016/17
* However the stock of Chinese direct investment in Australia was still only 4.8 per cent of the total at the end of 2017.
