Scepticism about foreign investment from China persists. The proportion of Australians (68%) who say that the Australian government is ‘allowing too much investment from China’ has remained statistically equal to the high point (72%) in 2018. In the past, Lowy Institute polling has found most Australians are wary of foreign investment in agriculture, residential real estate and critical infrastructure such as ports and airports.
