| Subject: ‘Strategic own goal’: OZschwitz Defense reviews Port of Darwin’s Chinese ownership Sun May 02, 2021 8:58 pm | |
| The Morrison government has asked the Department of Defence to review the Northern Territory’s 99-year-lease of the Port of Darwin to the Chinese-owned company Landbridge – a deal that has unsettled national security figures in the federal government since it was signed six years ago.
Defence officials are looking at whether the company, owned by Chinese billionaire Ye Cheng, should be forced to give up its ownership of the port on national security grounds under critical infrastructure laws passed in 2018.
